[robocup-worldwide] PhD grant in EU project at ISR/IST, Lisbon

[Pedro U. Lima]

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) 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 980€ 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 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.
