The Flowers Team at Inria and Ensta ParisTech (France) is seeking for highly
motivated and talented engineers and postdocs interested in the following
topics:
* Machine Learning for Robotics
* Human-Robot Collaboration and Interfaces
* Motor control and skill learning
* Personal robotics
* Lifelong robot learning in the context of assistive robotics
The Flowers team is a highly stimulating research environment which has been
developing cutting edge research in autonomous robot learning and development,
artificial curiosity, imitation learning of motor skills, human-robot adaptive
interaction and robot language acquisition.

We have currently multiple engineer and postdoc positions funded by several
EU-FP7-ICT "Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics" projects:
* 3 year post-doc
The candidate must have strong skills in mathematics, machine learning and
control theory, and record of publications in relevant conferences (e.g. IROS,
ICRA, RSS, NIPS) and journals (e.g. TRO, RAS, TAMD, IJRR, JMLR). Experience on
active learning and reinforcement learning will be appreciated.
* 3 year expert engineer in robotics
Must have experience in robotics and be capable to conduct complex robotic
experiments in an international collaborative project. Programming proficiency
in C/C++ and Python. Expertise with real robot systems and the ROS system will
be appreciated.
* 3 year expert engineer in human-machine interface
Must have experience in developing human-machine interfaces for augmented
reality and interaction with virtual worlds. Programming proficiency in C/C++
and Python.
The candidates will be involved in a european research project on human-robot
collaboration, co-working and adaptive interaction. This will also involve
close collaborations with several international laboratories, including the
Intelligent Autonomous Systems Lab (IAS) at the Technical University of
Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt), the Machine Learning & Robotics Lab (Univ.
Stuttgart), and the Intelligent Systems group at the University of Innsbruck
(Austria).
To apply send a letter including:
* detailed CV
* course transcripts
* motivation letter
* internship reports
Application should be sent by email to Manuel Lopes: manuel.lo...@inria.fr

About Inria:
http://www.inria.fr
Inria is a major research institution at the international level in applied
mathematics and computer sciences. Inriaís 3,400 researchers strive to invent
the digital technologies of the future. The institute is dedicated to
fundamental and applied research in information and communication science and
technology (ICST) but also plays a major role in technology transfer by
fostering training through research, disseminating scientific and technical
information, and participating in international programs. Inria develops many
partnerships with industry and fosters technology transfer and company
foundation in the field of ICST - some ninety companies have been founded with
the support of Inria Transfer, a subsidiary of Inria, specialized in guiding,
evaluating, qualifying, and financing innovative high-tech IT start-up
companies. Inria is involved in standardization committees such as the IETF,
ISO and the W3C of which Inria was the European host from 1995 to 2002.
Throughout its eight research centres located, Inria has a workforce of 3800
(2,800 of whom are scientists from Inria or from Inriaís partner organisations
such as CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research), universities
and leading engineering schools). The researchers at Inria published over 4,800
articles in 2010. They are behind over 270 active patents and 105 start-ups. In
2010, Inria's budget came to 252.5 million euros, 26% of which represented its
own resources. They work in 173 project-teams. Many Inria researchers are also
professors who supervise around 1000 doctoral students, their theses work
contributing to Inria research projects.
Inria maintains important international relations and exchanges. In Europe,
Inria is a member of ERCIM, which brings together research institutes from 19
European countries. Inria is a partner in about 120 FP6 actions and 128 FP7
actions, with 71 proposals in the ICST field.
