Horizon Europe - MSCA Marie Curie Grant Agreement Number 101168734 Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description The PhD position is part of the European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network “AWETRAIN – Airborne Wind Energy TRAining for Industrialization Network”. AWETRAIN will recruit 12 PhD fellows at 4 research universities and 2 international companies from 5 European countries, who will meet regularly during exchange visits, training events, workshops, and summer schools organized by the network. The position DC3 “Robust Autonomous Control of Onboard Generation AWE Systems” at Politecnico di Milano will be hosted jointly by the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DAER) and the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB). The position has a strong focus in the field of control, paired with hands-on simulation and experimental activities. Its aim is the development of a robust, full autonomy-capable control scheme for an onboard generation AWE systems. Ideal candidates have a master degree in one of the following disciplines or a related field: industrial engineering (e.g. control, mechanical, electronic, aerospace). They should have a good background or interest in mathematical optimization, dynamic system modelling and simulation, and programming (Matlab, C/C++, python), as well as a desire to contribute to the development of airborne wind energy systems and the success of real-world experiments. Proficiency in English is a requirement. The position adheres to the European policy of balanced ethnicity, age and gender. Both men and women are encouraged to apply.
