Are you a motivated, talented, outstanding prospective PhD Student or Postdoctoral Researcher?
Do you have a strong Mathematical background in the areas of Systems and Control, Dynamical Systems, Optimisation, Mathematical Biology/Epidemiology?
Are you passionate about interdisciplinary research at the interface between mathematical systems and control, engineering and life sciences?
If you are interested in joining my research group, send me an email with: your full CV; transcript of bachelor and master courses (for prospective PhD students) or PhD thesis (for prospective Postdoctoral researchers); a motivation letter describing your research interests and experience; a list of reference contacts.

I am looking for Postdoctoral Researchers to work on the ERC project INSPIRE:
"Integrated Structural and Probabilistic Approaches for Biological and Epidemiological Systems".
