Informatics: Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Robotics and Adaptive Motor Control
The project "STIFF: Enhancing Biomorphic Agility through variable Stiffness" is funded under the EU Framework 7 Objective ICT-2007.2.2: Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics initiative for a period of 36 months. The goal of the project is to equip a highly biomimetic robot hand-arm system with the agility, robustness and versatility that are hallmarks of the human motor system by understanding and mimicking the variable stiffness paradigms that are so effectively employed by the human CNS.

There are two postdoctoral positions being advertised, with a slight difference in emphasis; and the two appointees are expected to work in tandem with overlapping expertise:
Post One: Robotics and Adaptive Control: The appointee will be responsible for direct implementation of adaptive control paradigms on biophysical simulations and on state-of-the-art novel variable impedance actuators.

Both posts will involve travelling to project partner meetings around Europe, periodic reporting at EU reviews as well as attending and disseminating work at international conference. The posts also assume leadership roles and some level of PhD supervision on topics relevant to the project.
The successful candidates will have a PhD (or expected completion) in the area of (learning) robotics, probabilistic machine learning and/or adaptive motor control; strong mathematical skills in the area of optimization, algebra and control theory; strong programming skills in C, C++, MATLAB or equivalent; some experience with writing software and control of real hardware systems; a good understanding of adaptive control paradigms
The posts are available from 1st March 2009 for a fixed term of up to 34 months.

Fixed Term: 34 months
