[Apologies for multiple postings]

The Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR), a unit of the Laboratory of Robotics and Engineering Systems, located at
Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), U. Lisboa, Portugal has currently available 1 (one) research engineer position. 

We are seeking highly motivated people with a MSc degree on Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science
and related areas, to integrate the research team for the project
"INSIDE: Intelligent Networked Robot Systems for Symbiotic Interaction with Children with Impaired Development"
(http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/inside/).

The project is a collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, USA), INESC-ID (Lisbon, Portugal), 
ISR/LARSyS/IST-ID (Lisbon, Portugal), and FCT / New University of Lisbon (Lisbon, Portugal), also involving
Hospital Garcia da Orta and the companies IDMind; PLUX Biosignals; and VoiceInteraction.

The successful candidates are expected to have background and experience in one (or more) of the following areas (in decreasing order of relevance):

1. Decision-theoretic planning under uncertainty;
2. Human-Robot Interaction.
3. Networked robot systems;
4. Robot Navigation

The selected grantee will be mainly responsible in the project for the activities concerning development of sequential decision-making and planning under
uncertainty methods, integrated in the software and hardware architectures of the networked robot system that interacts with autistic chidren in a hospital,
where the research results will be demonstrated.

The grant has a duration of 12 months, being renewable, and it is expected to start on June 2017.

The grantees will work at the Intelligent Robots and Systems group of ISR/IST (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 the project, including more research engineers at ISR/IST.

Applications should be sent to Pedro U. Lima (pedro.lima at tecnico.ulisboa.pt) until 12 May 2017 by replying to this email and should include

* a detailed CV, including a list of publications;
* a brief statement about research interests and motivation to join the project, and 
* the name and contact of 2 references.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice
... but in practice, there is!
