hela Sverige We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science for a fixed-term position at the School of Science and Technology.
Subject area
The subject area for this position is Computer Science.
Background
We are seeking to further strengthen our team performing research on safe and robust perception and navigation for autonomous vehicles, in particular along the line of radar-based and multimodal sensing for low-visibility environments.
This position is funded in part by the research project Clearpath, which is performed in collaboration with Volvo Construction Equipment, Epiroc, Boliden, Retenua, and Örebro University. The project sets out to develop multimodal, failure-resilient and trustworthy AI methods for autonomous navigation and environment awareness in low visibility, in particular mining and construction environments that are characterised by heavy dust, smoke, and fog. Sensing modalities to be used include 4D radar and thermal camera data as well as visual cameras and lidars.
Expanding beyond our previous leading work on odometry, SLAM, and semantic segmentation using 2D and 4D radar data, with this project we wish to further increase resilience, trustworthiness, and accuracy using multimodal sensing - pushing the research frontier further ahead as well as implementing a live demonstrator in a relevant use case.
The position is associated with the Robot Navigation and Perception Lab (
https://rnp.aass.oru.se) which belongs to the Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) research environment (
https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-environments/ent/aass/) and Örebro University's AI, Robotics, and Cybersecurity center (ARC) (
https://www.oru.se/english/our-profile/arc-ai-robotics-and-cybersecurity-center/).Duties and responsibilities
The appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is intended to enable persons who have recently been awarded their doctoral degree to consolidate and develop primarily their research skills.
The successful candidate is expected to contribute to research on trustworthy multimodal semantic perception and multimodal semantic SLAM, with the balance between these areas shaped by the candidate's qualifications and research interests.
The candidate is expected to contribute to scientific output in terms of publications, as well as to successful project demonstrations. In order to meet these goals, the candidate is expected to have a demonstrated research background and international publications related to robot perception, navigation, localisation, or mapping.
