PhD Scholarship in Localization Systems for Mixed 
Human-Robots**Indoor**Environments*

The EU project, coordinated by IST-ID, MOnarCH ("Multi-Robot Cognitive 
Systems Operating in Hospitals" -http://monarch-fp7.eu 
<http://monarch-fp7.eu/>) has currently available 1 (one) position for a 
PhD Researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering. We seek highly 
motivated researchers to integrate the project team, at the Institute 
for Systems and Robotics (ISR), a unit of the Laboratory of Robotics and 
Systems Engineering in Science (LARSyS) located at Instituto Superior 
Técnico (IST), U. Lisbon, Portugal.

The successful candidate will be developing work mainly focused on, but 
not limited to, the design, development, and implementation of a high 
accuracy, robust and fault-tolerant, beyond state of the art, robot 
localization system to be used in the project demonstrations. The system 
builds upon the multi-sensor network environment at ISR, including fixed 
cameras, RFID systems, and robots with a variety of onboard sensors.

The successful candidate is expected to have at least a MSc 
in Electrical Engineering or related field, with previous experience in 
the localization problem.

The grant has the duration of 12 months, renewable up to 3 years, 
starting on December 2013. The grant value is 980EUR per month plus  
accident insurance and social security contributions.

The grantee will work with the Intelligent Robots and Systems group at 
LARSyS (http://welcome.isr.ist.utl.pt/labs/irsgroup/), and will also 
have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with all the other 
partners of both projects.

Applications will be considered in the period 25 October-15 November, 2013.

Applications should be sent to info at monarch-fp7.eu 
<mailto:info at monarch-fp7.eu> and should include:

* a detailed CV, including a list of publications,

* a brief statement about research interests, engineering skills and 
past experience, and motivation to join the project, and

* the name and contact of 2 referees.
