The Autonomous Intelligent Systems Group of University of Bonn invites
applications for several Postdoctoral and fully funded PhD positions.
Candidates should have a background in one of the following research areas:
* Autonomous micro aerial vehicles,
* Service robots,
* Humanoid robots,
* Search and rescue robots,
* Simultaneous localization and mapping,
* Environment perception,
* Manipulation and locomotion planning, or
* Machine learning for robotics.
Candidates for Postdoctoral positions must hold a PhD in robotics or a
related
field, such as computer science or electrical engineering. Top-level
publications and good organizational skills are important. Successful
candidates will have the opportunity conduct independent research and at
the
same time contribute to the ongoing projects listed below, guiding PhD
students
and master students. Payment will be according to TV-L-E14 54,500-65,000
Euros
per annum, depending on experience.
Candidates for PhD positions must hold a university Master's degree in
computer
science, mathematics, electrical engineering, or a related field. A strong
mathematical background and programming skills are important. Successful
candidates will conduct focused research towards a PhD in Computer Science
and contribute to one of the ongoing projects listed below, guiding master
and bachelor students. Payment will be according to TV-L-E13 46,000-50,500
Euros per annum, depending on experience.
Applications in PDF format should be sent by email to behnke at ais.uni-bonn.de

Autonomous Intelligent Systems Group:
=====================================
The University of Bonn has a long tradition in robotics research and
multiple
outstanding groups in robotics. The Autonomous Intelligent Systems Group,
headed by Sven Behnke, has developed award-winning cognitive robot systems,
including domestic service robots, autonomous micro aerial vehicles,
humanoid
soccer robots, robots for mobile manipulation in rough terrain, and
robots for
intuitive human-robot interaction. Contributions include efficient
methods for
RGB-D and laser-based SLAM, semantic environment perception, robot
navigation,
object manipulation and tool use, bipedal walking, multimodal human-robot
interaction, and learning from demonstrations and own experience.
