Connectionists: PhD and Postdoc positions in AI & Robotics @ Univ. Stuttgart

[Marc Toussaint]

We have several fully funded PhD or Postdoc positions open in our
Machine Learning & Robotics Lab, Univ. of Stuttgart, Germany.

Applicants should be enthusiastic about bringing AI to real-world
robotic systems. We aim to see physical reasoning, coping with
uncertainty, sample-efficient learning, and learning from/interacting
with humans happening online on real systems. Training from huge data
in simulations is fair as a means, but not the goal of our research.

Applicants should have a strong background in AI or robotics, covering
at least parts of the foundations in optimization, machine learning,
probabilistic reasoning, AI reasoning, robot control, motion planning,
or computer vision. Strong background on the application and coding
side (ROS, robotics) are also beneficial.

If you are interested, please contact me and send me your
applications:

For a PhD position, reply to this email with an informal email that
includes up to 3 links to any kinds of papers or reports you have
written so far, in particular your BSc and MSc theses or even

get back to you for more information.

For a postdoc position, reply to this email with an informal email
that includes links to your webpage or publication list (e.g. Google 
Scholar),

application letter or CV is not necessary.

Payment will be according to the German TVL E-13 or E-14 payment scheme.

Please contact me if you have any further questions.

Best,
