Connectionists: PostDoc or research assistant in neuro-robotics at the Technical University of Denmark

[Silvia Tolu]

Dear all,


A postdoctoral position or research assistantship is available for working at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark. The position is in the research field of neuro-robotics. The candidate will be part of a team that is already involved in the framework of the EU Flagship Project “Human Brain Project” (HBP). The position addresses research in neural computation for robotics systems.


The purpose of the position is to explore new algorithms for real-time motor control and motor learning of compliant robotic systems, mimicking brain computations and connections. The focus will be on the design, programming and validation of different types of bio-inspired architectures for adaptive control. The main objective is to implement an architecture, which is capable to adapt to different robot system dynamics. The successful candidate will explore the use of bio-inspired neural networks to control virtual robots in the Neuro-Robotics Platform (NRP, https://neurorobotics.net) built within the Human Brain Project subproject 10 “Neuro-robotics” and to transfer the results on a real robot. In the position, there will be a focus on creating such real-time demonstrators.


Candidates should hold a MSc in electrical engineering or related field. The candidate is required to have expertise about robotics applications (hw and/or sw). Candidates without such experience will not be considered for the position. Knowledge in artificial intelligence methods, in computational neuroscience, as well as experience in neuromorphic programming and with the neuro-robotic platform of the Human Brain Project are an advantageous.
