Please forward to outstanding potential applicants.
Applications are required if possible by 14 Feb, though we may be able
to process late applications if selection has not gone too far.
Full details, including application instructions, are available here:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/cosy/rf07/
SUMMARY:
Research Fellow (post-doc)
Cognitive Robotics Project
School of Computer Science
Tasks: 3-D vision and object manipulation in a multi-capability robot
Requirement: PhD or equivalent experience
Project started: Sept 2004
Applications are invited for a Research Fellow to work on an EC-Funded
project: CoSy: Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants.
This post is an addition to the existing CoSy team at Birmingham,
comprising Jeremy Wyatt and Aaron Sloman (Co-PIs), three
research-fellows (Nick Hawes, Somboon Hongeng, Michael Zillich) and a
PhD student (Marek Kopicki).
You will be required to work on reasoning and learning about sensing and
perceptual processing in a robot able to manipulate objects, with an
emphasis on visual processing. The goal of the work will be to develop
new methods for choosing sensing actions and making inferences about a
scene when the robot has to make decisions about where to look, and what
visual processing to perform.
Applicants should hold, or be working towards the achievement of a PhD
in Computer Science, AI, Cognitive Science, Engineering or related
subject OR have equivalent research experience in robotics/vision
research and linux expertise. You will have a strong background in one
or more of the following areas:
o Uncertain reasoning and planning
o Machine learning and statistical inference
o Computer vision
o Symbolic reasoning and planning
You will need excellent programming skills, in C/C++ or Java, and
preferably experience in at least one AI language, together with the
ability to engineer software to very high standards of reliability. You
will work in a team of six researchers at Birmingham, along with
partner groups in six other universities, working on an ambitious
interdisciplinary EC-funded robotic project described at the CoSy web
sites:
http://www.cognitivesystems.org
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/cosy/
You will also be expected to contribute to the management of the group,
grant writing, and setting the research agenda for the future work of
the group. Strong communication and management skills are therefore also
essential. Please check those web sites for up to date information about
the project and this post before applying.
Starting salary in the range of (GBP)£32,471 to £34,448 a year
(potential progression on performance once in post to £43,638 a year),
or in the range of £24,161 to £31,525 (potential progression once in
post to £33,465 a year). This post is available from March 2007 until 28
February 2008 in the first instance, however it is anticipated that the
post will be extended for the full duration of the project (31 August
2008).
