About the Inria research center

The Inria center at Lille, created in 2008, employs 360 people, including 305 scientists in 15
research teams. Recognized for its strong involvement in the socio-economic development of the
Hauts-De-France region, the Inria center at Lille pursues a close relationship with large companies
and SMEs. By promoting synergies between researchers and industrialists, Inria participates in
transferring skills and expertise in digital technologies and provides access to the best European
and international research for the bene t of innovation and companies, particularly in the region.

For more than ten years, the Inria center at Lille has been located at the heart of University of Lille
and scienti c ecosystem, as well as at the heart of Frenchtech, with a technology showroom
based on the EuraTechnologies, site of economic excellence dedicated to information and
communication technologies.

Assignment

With the help of his/her supervisors (Rosane Ushirobira and Denis E mov), the main objectives of
the recruited person will be to propose innovative observation methods for nonlinear dynamical
systems using Lie theory. Thanks to the structural properties of Lie algebras and Lie groups, the
results obtained will involve non-asymptotic algorithms, therefore simple and particularly fast.
Also the obtained theoretical results might be applied to practical problems, particularly air-land
robotics. VALSE has several di erent platforms for experimentation. For more details, please
check VALSE's website. The Ph.D. student will be part of the VALSE team in the Inria center.

Skills

Technical skills and level required: Automatic control theory, solid mathematical background,
Matlab. Languages: French, English

Instruction to apply
CV + application letter + recommendation letter(s) + school transcripts

Defense Security: This position is in a restricted area (ZRR), as de ned in Decree No. 2011-1425,
relating to protecting national scienti c and technical potential (PPST). The unit director grants
authorization to enter this area, following a favorable Ministerial decision, as de ned in the decree
of 3 July 2012 relating to the PPST. An unfavorable Ministerial decision for a position situated in a
ZRR would result in the cancellation of the appointment.

Remuneration

1st and 2nd year: 1 982€ Gross monthly salary (before taxes)

3rd year: 2085€ gross monthly salary (before taxes)
