PhD positions available at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group at Darmstadt University of Technology / Technische Universitaet Darmstadt, Germany
The Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group invites applications for several research positions (phd students) in the domain of robot learning and reinforcement learning. The core focus of the group evolves around the problem how we can endow robots with new motor skill and allow them to self-improve their abilities. In order to approach this topic, we develop novel machine learning methods, evaluate possibilities from the perspective of classical robotics and follow biological inspiration from human motor control.
We are particularly interested in candidates with the following background:
- A Robotics Ph.D. student with experience on real robots (ideally arms or humanoid robots rather than mobile robots).
-
A Machine Learning Ph.D. student who is willing to work on Bayesian
inference and machine learning for control in conjunction with Marc
Deisenroth.
The students will
be embedded in this highly international research group lead by Jan
Peters which is centered at Darmstadt, Germany but is tightly
intertwined with the Department of Empirical Inference & Machine
Learning at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems as well as
the Computational Learning and Motor Control Lab at the University of
Southern California. The researcher will encouraged to partake in the
our collaborations with many important machine learning and robotics
groups in North America, Europe and Japan.
Applications
of scientists with background in reinforcement learning, imitation
learning, robot learning, robot grasping and manipulation, motor skill
learning, and biomimetic robotics are particularly encouraged. The
positions are to be filled as soon as possible and are available
immediately. Applications will be considered until all positions are
filled. The application should include a cover letter stating the
candidates research interests, curriculum vita, list of publications,
and names of three referees. Electronic submission is requested.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TO APPLY, PLEASE PING ME (=Jan Peters) BY EMAIL ASAP!
