Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, Denmark, invites applicants for a 1-year post-doc (or research associate - RA) position offering an exciting opportunity to join a new industrial research project on aerial robotics.
We seek to expand and improve the perceptual capabilities of autonomous aerial vehicles. This project aims to solve the precise landing problem of a VTOL UAV by using a cost-effective hybrid method consisting of local positioning systems (vision-based sensors) and global positioning systems. In this project, the advantages of local and global positioning systems will be combined to realize one specific goal: precise landing on a moving ship deck. Requirements: Prospective candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree (MSc degree for the RA position) in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, automatic control, mechatronics, applied mathematics, or other related disciplines. Moreover, he/she should have a strong publication record in the fields related to robotic vision and/or vision-based control. Additional desired skills: - Experience applying robot vision, C/C++ programming, and abstract thinking - Experience with computer vision: object recognition, segmentation, and tracking - Programming experience in real world systems - Basic experience with UAV flight controllers and UAV control - Basic experience on ROS The application should consist of: · Maximum one A4 page motivation letter (explaining the reason that you are interested in joining this project and Aarhus University), · A CV with full publication list, · The contact details of three referees. These documents must be compiled as a single pdf file, and named as "<Name>_<Surname>.pdf". Then, the single file should be sent to " erdal.kaya...@gmail.com" with a subject line of "Post-doc application" or “"RA application” Deadline: The deadline for the applications is *September 15th, 2019* Start Date: *January 1st, 2020 *(With some flexibility) For further information, feel free to contact: Erdal Kayacan ( erdal.kaya...@gmail.com)
