Postdoc position starting February 2025.
Post-doc position (2 years) at University of Dubrovnik, within Conduction (Optimal control and model reduction for evolution and data driven problems) project.
Starting Date: Negotiable, with a preference on February 1, 2025.
The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on the performance.
Salary (gross): approx. 2.800€ per month.
Responsibilities: The candidate will work on problems related to the Work packages 1 and 2 (Optimal control problems for evolution systems.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024.
Young researchers in mathematical control theory are invited to apply for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024. We offer candidates the opportunity to jointly prepare an original and personalized project proposal and, once we get the funding, pursue a two-year research project in control theory under the supervision of prof. Martin Lazar.
A special attention within the project will be given to the professional development and training of the candidate. In particular, he/she will have the opportunity to participate in ongoing research projects, to benefit from an international research network of the supervisor and his collaborators, to disseminate his/her results, and to get trained in specialized schools and workshops.
Eligible candidates must hold a Ph.D., must have a maximum of 8 years of research experience from the time the Ph.D. was awarded, and cannot have lived or worked in Croatia for 12 months or more over the past three years.
