Openings for Ph.D. students and Postdocs at Michigan State University

The Robotics and Intelligent Vehicle Automation Lab (https://www.egr.msu.edu/rival/) at Michigan State University (MSU) has two Ph.D. and two Postdoc openings available immediately. The projects include Robotics, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Dynamics-enabled Privacy, and Optimal Control. Highly motivated candidates with a strong background in control theory, vehicle dynamics, optimization, and/or machine learning are encouraged to apply. Ph.D. students will be supported with full scholarship and postdocs will be supported with a competitive compensation package including a $50K-$60K salary.

The Ph.D. student/post-doc will have opportunities to work closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), automotive manufacturers including Ford and General Motors, as well as suppliers such as Mitsubishi and DENSO.
