With us, you will work with engaged colleagues, have access to modern research infrastructure, and excellent opportunities to attract external funding. You will have the space to make a real difference for your students, your research, and society at large.\n\nRobotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) (http:\/\/www.ltu.se\/robotics) at the Department of System and Space Engineering at Lule\u00e5 University of Technology is now seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to our growing activities. The RAI team conducts fundamental and principled research in all aspects of robotics with a specific focus on aerial, space, and bio-inspired robotics.\n\nRAI's vision is to narrow the gap between theory and reality, and the team has a strong background in field robotics. Application areas we focus on include robotics for mining, aerial inspection of aging infrastructure, multi-robot search and rescue for emergency services and similar applications, multi-sensor fusion, and multi-robot coordination, which includes environmental perception, decentralization, and execution of specified missions for multi-robot systems.\n\nThe RAI team has strong participation in European R&D&I projects, and RAI participates in the DARPA SUB-T Challenge as a member of the CoSTAR team, which is led by NASA\/JPL (https:\/\/costar.jpl.nasa.gov\/).\n\nSubject Description\nRobotics and Artificial Intelligence aims to develop new robotic systems characterized by advanced autonomy to improve the robots' ability to interact with the environment and humans when performing specific tasks.\n\nProject Description\nYou will work within aerial robotics and your activities will link with national, European, and worldwide R&D projects.\n\nThe research topics will focus on, but are not limited to:\n\nNavigation through unknown environments\nFast dynamics-based planning\nSemantic-based exploration\nSource localization\nPerception in sensor-degraded environments:\nLocalization in smoke- and dust-filled environments\nScene understanding\nBiometric\/triage evaluations, etc.\nMission-specific modules such as autonomous fire suppression, sampling, rescue operations, or large-scale mission planning.\n\nDuties\nThe primary duties of a postdoctoral researcher are research. You will conduct research with substantial experimental elements that should be published in peer-reviewed international academic journals and presented at major conferences. The duties include supervising doctoral and MSc students, teaching, and support in acquiring funding for future research projects from research financing agencies\/councils, EU projects, or industry.\n\nQualifications\nTo be eligible for employment, a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree in control engineering or a related field is required. It is meritorious if your degree was completed no more than three years before the application deadline for this position. If there are special reasons, a doctoral degree completed earlier may be considered, for example, in cases of various types of statutory leave. The research duties require a solid mathematical background with proven advanced experimental skills and excellent programming skills (e.g., C++, ROS, Matlab, etc.). You should have a strong vision for evaluating and demonstrating research results in real field and industrial conditions with an approach that narrows the gap between pure theory and experimental verification. You will need to represent the group in various contexts, both in Sweden and abroad; therefore, excellent knowledge of English is a requirement.\n\nInformation\nThe employment is limited to two years with the possibility of extension for an additional year. Place of work: Lule\u00e5. Start date by agreement.\n\nFor further information, please contact:\nGeorge Nikolakopoulos, Professor and Subject Representative, 0920-49 1298 mailto:geonik@ltu.se\n\nTrade Union Representatives:\nSACO-S Diana Chroneer, 0920-49 2037 mailto:diana.chroneer@ltu.se\nOFR-S Marika Vesterberg, 0920-49 1721 mailto:marika.vesterberg@ltu.se\n\nApplication\nWe prefer that you apply for the position via the application button below, where you attach a cover letter, a detailed CV with a list of publications and a complete description of your scientific qualifications, a rough research plan regarding the described research topics, a list of successful grant applications or participation in research projects, at least 2 references, formal copies of verified and translated diplomas and doctoral degree. Please mark your application with the reference number below.
