hela Sverige We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in computer science for a two year fixed-term position at the School of Science and Technology, Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS,
http://www.oru.se/aass).Subject area
The subject area for this position is safe and reliability-aware navigation for mobile robots in populated environments.
Background
We are seeking to further strengthen our team performing research on safe robot navigation in populated environments with a new post-doc researcher. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to research on automatic quality measures and failure mitigation for robot mapping and localisation. Other relevant research questions may include building people-aware maps from small data sets, how to learn the periodicities of motion in an on-line and iterative fashion, and how to best utilise these people-aware semantic maps for safe and efficient planning, and robust navigation.
The Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS,
http://www.oru.se/aass) at Örebro University carries out multi-disciplinary research at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, computer science, and measurement technology. Our research is often done in close partnership with world-leading corporations, but also with the public sector, and our research on the development of perception systems for mobile robots is recognised worldwide.
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.
This position is funded in part by the Swedish-funded project NiCE (Robust Navigation in Changing Environments) which will be performed in collaboration with Electrolux and Kollmorgen Automation, and the EU-funded project DARKO (Dynamic Agile Production Robots That Learn and Optimize Knowledge and Operation) together with seven European academic and industrial partners, Both projects strive to develop novel solutions for robots to safely and successfully operate in changing environments shared with humans.
In addition to scientific output in terms of publications, the candidate is expected to contribute to successful project demonstrations. In order to meet these goals, the candidate is expected to have a demonstrated research background and international publications within robotic mapping and localisation. A solid theoretical background and excellent programming skills are also very important, as is the ability to develop real-world systems. It is not necessary to be familiar with the Swedish language, but proficiency in written/spoken English is mandatory.
Qualifications
Those qualified for appointment as a postdoctoral researcher are applicants who have been awarded a doctoral degree in a subject matter relevant for the position or have a degree from abroad deemed to correspond to a doctoral degree. The degree is to have been awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline. If special grounds exist, a person who has been awarded their doctoral degree prior to that should also be considered. Such grounds comprise leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, clinical practice, positions of trust in a trade union or other similar circumstances.
Assessment criteria
Candidates are assessed primarily on their research capacity within the topics described above, by way of peer-reviewed publications. A further basis for the assessment is the applicant's ability to disseminate information and communicate; collaborate and engage with the wider community; and facilitate utilization of the university's research; as well as the ability and suitability to cooperate with other members of staff and contribute to the development of university operations.
Information
This is a fixed-term full-time position for two years. At Örebro University, salary depends on the successful candidate's qualifications and experience.
