A PhD position is available, starting in 2012, on systems control application
of algorithms of real algebraic geometry. The 3-year PhD thesis will be supervised
by Didier Henrion (LAAS-CNRS, Univ. Toulouse, France) and Mohab Safey El Din
(LIP6-CNRS Univ. Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris and INRIA Paris Rocquencourt, France)
within the scope of the 2011-2015 ANR project GeoLMI on geometry and algebra of
linear matrix inequalities.

A good background in applied mathematics is required, and some knowledge
of systems control is welcome. The holder of the position will be expected
to work on collaborative research with Didier Henrion and Mohab Safey El Din,
members of the GeoLMI project: homepages.laas.fr/henrion/geolmi
