    A post-doctoral position is available in the Division of Chemical &
    Biomolecular Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

     

    The intended areas of research are plant-wide control and process
    controllability analysis. The research in plant-wide control aims to
    answer the question: Given a process, where shall the controllers be
    placed, that is, what should be controlled, manipulated and measured,
    and how shall these variables be interconnected for safe and economic
    operation of a complex system. Process controllability analysis
    identifies the fundamental limitations posed by the system itself on the
    achievable control quality.

     

    The applicant should have a Ph.D. degree in an engineering or science
    discipline with a strong background in systems and control theory.
    Candidates with prior experience in one or more of the following areas
    will be preferred: control structure design, nonlinear and combinatorial
    optimization, and robust control.

     

    The successful applicant will receive about S$ 48,000 per annum. The
    position is currently available for 1 year with the possibility of an
    extension for another year, subject to the candidate's performance and
    funding availability.

     

    Interested candidates should send their CV with the contact details of
    three referees by May 15th 2006 to:
