PhD Research Assistant Positions at Louisiana State University:

One or more graduate Research Assistant positions are available in
systems and controls, as part of Prof. Malisoff's US National
Science Foundation and Office of Naval Research funded research
projects. Prof. Malisoff will consider applicants from all colleges
and universities, but students from outside LSU must first be
granted admission to LSU before being eligible to work on the
research projects, and international students may first need to
obtain visas. The projects would provide each student with a
stipend of at least approximately $20,000 and a full tuition
remission per school year, with continued availability of this
support for up to 3 years contingent on satisfactory progress by
the students and the availability of funds.

The positions would only be available to students working towards
their PhDs at LSU under Prof. Malisoff's direction, in engineering
or in math. For math PhD students, no prerequisite background in
engineering is required. Engineering PhD students could be
co-advised by an engineering professor and Prof. Malisoff.
Applicants should send malisoff@lsu.edu their CV with contact
information for 3 references, a statement of interest, and a list
of courses taken. Applicants not already admitted to LSU should
also follow the graduate admission application rules from
http://sites01.lsu.edu/wp/graduateschool/, and should write in
their graduate school applications why they are interested in
working towards a PhD under Prof. Malisoff's direction. Prof.
Malisoff does not have authority to grant admission to LSU.
Applicants may be considered for an RA job starting as early as
Spring 2022. Math PhD students who already passed their qualifying
exams are especially strongly encouraged to apply. LSU is committed
to diversity and is an equal opportunity and equal access employer.
