PostDoc position in Robotic Co-Design and Construction – deadline: August 12

The Learning & Intelligent Systems Lab @ TU Berlin is cooperating with the Stuttgart Center for Computational Design and Construction on highly interesting and challenging problems, rethinking robotic manipulation, architectural design and construction holistically. As part of this cooperation we are seeking for a PostDoc with a strong track-record in AI & robotics research to join us working on robotic Co-Design and Construction, leveraging optimization and learning methods. (For examples of prior work in this collaboration, see e.g. V. Hartmann’s papers on https://www.user.tu-berlin.de/mtoussai/publications/.)

If interested in this position, please contact me informally by Aug 12 via plain Email only: (1) Use subject ‘interest in postdoc position’. (2) Include links to your google scholar and personal webpage. (3) Say a few words about your interests and highlight 2 of your favorite own publications with link.

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.).

PhD position as part of the new Robotics Institute Germany – deadline: August 12

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.).
