Multiple fully funded Ph.D. and Postdoc positions available in the Dynamical Networks and Control Laboratory directed by Dr. Yan Wan at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington. The university is located at the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States with many high-tech companies and convenient lifestyles.

The research areas of these positions are generally related to reinforcement learning, controls, game theory, wireless networking, and their applications to cyber-physical system applications such as autonomous driving, urban aerial mobility, and robot teaming.  Applications for the Ph.D. positions are required to have received a Bachelor's degree in a related engineering field or mathematics. Applicants for the Postdoctoral positions are required to have received a Ph.D. degree in related fields. Self-motivated students with a strong theoretical background and/or rich hands-on experience are encouraged to apply. Excellent writing and communication skills are expected. Previous research experience with a good publication record will be highly valued.

Interested applicants for the Ph.D. positions please send the application to Dr. Yan Wan by email: yan.wan@uta.edu. Please send a single pdf document that includes a cover letter (1 page at the maximum) that states the qualifications, and the detailed CV. Applications will be received by February 28, 2021 or until the positions are filled.
