One Post-doc and two PhD positions are available to investigate the use of nonstochastic and zero-error information theory in filtering, control and causal inference problems with deterministic disturbances or unknown noise distributions. These positions are based in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Melbourne, Australia and support an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship grant.
**Post-doctoral applicants should have a theoretically-focused PhD in a relevant area. Knowledge of probability theory and random sampling methods would be useful.
Salary: from AU$87,415/year before tax, dependent on experience, plus employer superannuation contribution of 9.25%.
Duration: one year including probation period. Extensions are subject to performance and funding.
Starting date: flexible.
To express interest, please email a research statement and CV, with 3 referees listed, to Prof. Girish Nair,
