Postdoctoral researcher in information technology with a focus on "Intelligent Vehicles/Mobile Robots"

A full-time employment for one year, with starting date as soon as possible.

The research will focus on situation-aware autonomous self-driving vehicles. The successful candidate will work on developing AI algorithms and methods based on signal processing and machine learning to recognize, describe, and reason about agents (e.g. humans) and objects (e.g. obstacles) in the environment. The research will heavily investigate end-to-end situation-aware perception modules, which can understand actions of other agents and identify objects in the surroundings. This entails the development of novel algorithms and methods for extracting and combining information (considering uncertainty) coming from various sensory modalities (installed on the vehicle, mobile robot or in the infrastructure).

Principal duties

The candidate will carry out the research within a project named "Situation-Aware Safety System". It's a collaboration project with our industrial partners Kollmorgen, Toyota Material Handling Europe, and AB Volvo (Volvo Technology). The focus is on the next generation safety system that is able to handle complex scenarios with functions for tracking and predicting actions of other agents and objects in the environment and modeling their behavior with the goal of the safe and efficient operation. The work also includes demonstrations of the developed algorithms and methods. The position might involve some minor teaching activities on basic levels.

Research environment

The position is funded by CAISR (Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research), which is a long-term research program on intelligent systems at the School of Information Technology in Halmstad University. The focus of the center is on aware intelligent computer systems that are human-aware, situation-aware and to some extent "self-aware". This means systems that can communicate with humans, systems that can be aware of human intentions, systems that can fuse information and be aware of the situation and not just individual sensor readings, and systems that can be self-moni­toring. The subject expertize in the center is in machine learning, data mining, signal analysis and mecha­tronics. More information about CAISR can be found at the link: http://www.hh.se/4.2515361d1351369447180004010.html

Qualification

The position is intended for someone with a PhD in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or closely related disciplines, preferable with the application area in self-driving vehicles or AGVs. Desirable skills include experiences in driver intention/behavior modeling, perception (in particular lidar and camera), advanced signal processing and machine learning methods on real-world data. Profound knowledge in deep learning is meritorious. The applicant shall have a strong background in programming and experience in Robot Operating System (ROS). One post-doc experience after PhD is admirable. The initial term of appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and availability of funding.

Other

We value the qualities that gender balance and diversity bring to our organisation. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds, gender, functionality and, not least, life experience.
