<p class="MsoNormal">Hello;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of relevant candidates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Up to three new research positions are available in the Data Mining & Machine Learning Research Group, led by Dr Michael Madden in the National University of Ireland Galway, to contribute to a substantial European Union research project
called ROCSAFE, which involves an exciting combination of aerial robotics, ground-based robotics, sensing systems, image analysis, and artificial intelligence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are positions available for a software engineer and for two research scholars (MSc by research with possibility to transition to PhD). The software engineer will receive a salary commensurate with experience. The MSc students will
receive a tax-free scholarship of €16,000 per year, with fees also paid. Additional funding is provided for research-related travel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The research and software development work is likely to involve topics such as: (1) development of communications protocols and simulation of a realistic multi-agent system; (2) routing of autonomous vehicles for optimal collection of multi-resolution
image and sensor data; (3) context-aware decision support driven by sensor data analytics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is an excellent opportunity to combine research with software development, working in a flexible and stimulating research environment, while collaborating with academic and industrial partners across Europe.<o:p></o:p></p>
