About this position

EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) is recruiting a Postdoc in ML-Based Co-Design at its Computer Vision Lab (CVLab) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The project focuses on machine learning, control theory, aerodynamic shape optimization, and aircraft/glider design, with a potential application to model gliders for FAI competitions.

The successful candidate will work on co-design problems that combine aerodynamic shape and control, building on ideas described in the linked technical report. This is a research-intensive postdoctoral role in a highly international environment at one of Europe’s leading scientific institutions.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a doctorate in a machine-learning related field, have deep knowledge of control theory (classical and deep-learning-based), and demonstrate a strong publication record in top ML venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR. Experience with aerodynamics and aircraft design is considered an advantage.

Funding and contract: EPFL offers a competitive salary and excellent working conditions. The position is full-time (100%), under a CDD contract, for one year with the possibility of renewal. Start date is flexible, with Fall 2026 preferred.

How to apply: applications must be submitted through the online platform only. Prepare a brief cover letter (PDF, up to 2 pages), a single PDF containing your CV with publication list and research statement (up to 3 pages), and contact details for three referees.
