The Learning & Intelligent Systems Lab @ TU Berlin is part of the newly created Robotics Institute Germany (RIG) https://www.robotics-institute-germany.de/. In the course of this cooperation we are seeking for a new PhD student with excellent background in AI & robotics research, and a strong interest in learning systems, optimisation, robotic manipulation and planning. RIG is a highly collaborative network of Germany’s leading robotics researchers. As a PhD student within this network you will also participate in collaborative efforts, e.g. in international robotics competitions (e.g. RoboCup Logistics League), on robotics, methodology and benchmark infrastructure, or on network-wide teaching concepts and PhD symposia.

If interested in this position, please contact me informally by Aug 12 via plain Email only: (1) Use subject ‘interest in RIG PhD position’. (2) Include links to any previous written work of yours (MSc thesis, other research/technical work). (3) Link to your CV. (4) Say a few words about your interests and background.

Requirements:

Successfully completed university studies (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in computer science or a similar technical subject.
In-depth knowledge in robotics, optimization, and learning, including robotic manipulation.
Excellent programming skills

A more formal application procedure will follow, but with a very tight time frame later in August. (Please note that I will be on vacation until Aug 9 and cannot respond before the week of Aug 12.).
