A full-time employment for two years with starting date as soon as possible.
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. More information about CAISR is to be found on:
http://www.hh.se/4.2515361d1351369447180004010.htmlThe focus of the center is on aware intelligent systems, 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.
Research focus
The research will focus on making future self-driving and autonomous vehicles situation aware with the goal of making them more intelligent. The successful candidate will work on developing methods and algorithms based on signal processing and machine learning to recognize, describe, and reason about objects in the environment. This will result in a system that is situation aware since actions of other agents operating in the environment can be foreseen and concerns can be made on objects' identities. This will entail developing novel methods and algorithms for extracting and combine information (considering uncertainty) coming from different sensor systems (installed on the mobile robot), aggregate knowledge gained from perception or by means of information and representing knowledge and information in semantic maps. The work also includes demonstrations of the practicability of the developed methods and algorithms. The research will be performed in close collaboration with our industrial partners.
Principal duties
The selected candidate will become part of the very dynamic and international research environment at the Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research (CAISR), a part of Halmstad Embedded and Intelligent Systems Research (EIS) at the School of Information Technology. The project that the successful candidate will be involved in is SAS2: Situation Aware Safety System with our industry partners Kollmorgen, Toyota Material Handling Europe, Fotonic and Volvo AB. The focus is on next generation safety system, able to handle more complex scenarios, with functions for track and predict actions of other agents in the environment with the goal of safe and efficient operation.
The post of the postdoctoral researcher is a qualifying appointment with the purpose to give the employee a possibility to develop its independence as a researcher and to obtain merits that can lead to a competence for another post with higher eligibility requirements. As a postdoctoral researcher you are expected to be active in the research done within the research environments CAISR and EIS. The teaching load will be at most 20 % of the time working hours. Furthermore, we expect you to take an active part in the continued development of the research environment and that you will take part in applying for research funding from various financiers, both in Sweden and abroad.
Qualification
The position is intended for someone with a recent PhD degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related fields. The applicant shall have a strong background in intelligent vehicles/mobile robots and an earlier post-doc position after PhD is a merit. The applicant shall have a deep knowledge on perception systems preferable towards vehicle automation and experience working with advanced signal processing methods (including machine learning methods) on real world data. The research track record should demonstrate excellence in research areas such as robotics, machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision. Strong experience using Robot Operating System (ROS) is a plus.
Salary
Salary is to be settled by negotiation. The application should include a statement of the salary level required by the candidate.
Application
Applications should be sent via Halmstad University's recruitment system (see link on this page). The last day to apply for the position is 2016-12-20.
The application package shall consist of:
1) a cover letter stating the purpose of the application and a brief statement of why you believe that your goals are well-matched with the goals of this position, together with a description of future research plans
2) an attested CV that includes at least
- a list of previous degrees, dates, and institution, transcripts for higher-education studies until most recent available
- a complete list of publications and a description of previous research and other work experience and links to online copies of the most important publications
3) contact information for at least three references
