Germany : Postdoctoral Positions in Robotics

We are now accepting applications for a postdoctoral research position in the fields of Robot Control, Robot Cognitive System Architectures and System Integration at the Department of Informatics at TU Munich, Germany.

Project Title:
ECCEROBOT – Embodied Cognition in a Compliantly Engineered Robot

Application deadline: 12th February 2010, the position will begin as soon as possible.

The goal of this EU‐funded project (see www.eccerobot.org) is to improve the design of a compliant robot system based on the original CRONOS robot (see http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/staff/owen/machine/cronos.html), to investigate methods for its control, its sensor data processing and the autonomous development of its cognitive skills.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline. He or she should possess excellent skills and practical experience in one or more of the following research areas: robotics, real‐time image processing, machine learning, or control. Experience with programming and operating real‐world robots is desirable.

TU Munich enjoys an excellent international reputation as an academic leader and has been consistently ranked as one of the three best universities in Germany. It was appointed one of only three top universities in the first round of the “Excellence Initiative” of the German Government in 2006.

The Munich area itself offers high‐quality of living, with unparalleled outdoor recreational opportunities and a great night‐life at a reasonable price.

Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, an academic transcript and two referees. A statement of the broad area of your research interest should also be included.

For any enquiries or further information, send an E‐mail to: Michael Jäntsch (michael.jaentscht@in.tum.de) or Amy Beth Buecherl (buecherl@in.tum.de) or visit our web site at http://wwwknoll.in.tum.de.
