!!!!Postdoc/PhD positions available at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group
at Darmstadt University of Technology / Technische Universitaet Darmstadt,
Germany!!!
The Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group invites applications for several
research positions (postdoc/phd) in the domain of robot learning and
reinforcement learning. The core focus of the group evolves around the problem
how we can endow robots with new motor skill and allow them to self-improve
their abilities. In order to approach this topic, we develop novel machine
learning methods, evaluate possibilities from the perspective of classical
robotics and follow biological inspiration from human motor control.
The researcher will be embedded in this highly international research group
lead by Jan Peters which is centered at Darmstadt, Germany but is tightly
intertwined with the Department of Empirical Inference & Machine Learning at
the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems as well as the Computational
Learning and Motor Control Lab at the University of Southern California. The
researcher will encouraged to partake in the our collaborations with many
important machine learning and robotics groups in North America, Europe and
Japan.
More background can be found at the preliminary homepage
http://www.intelligent-autonomous-systems.de/.
The successful candidate should fit in with these interests and should have a
strong background in either robotics and machine learning, ideally in both.
Applications of scientists with background in reinforcement learning, imitation
learning, robot learning, robot grasping and manipulation, motor skill
learning, and biomimetic robotics are particularly encouraged. The positions
are to be filled as soon as possible and are available immediately.
Applications will be considered until all positions are filled. The application
should include a cover letter stating the candidates research interests,
curriculum vita, list of publications, and names of three referees. Electronic
submission is requested.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TO APPLY, PLEASE PING ME (=Jan Peters) BY EMAIL ASAP!
