The Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab invites applications for fully funded post-doctoral researcher or research scientist position. The candidate will specifically be leading research in robot learning for dexterous manipulation in our lab, particularly spanning mobile robot manipulator platforms and humanoid robots. As such, candidates should have expertise in a breadth of learning-based control and planning methods, and strong foundations in robot dynamics, robot vision, and learning approaches. The application cases span multi-manipulator robots and humanoid robots to their use in autonomous surgery and as well as for manufacturing and assembly lines. The candidate will be involved in multiple projects and lead small teams of BS/MS/PhD students. Candidates are expected to have strong evidence of this in past research in the area of robotics.

The start date is immediate, and positions are for 12 months with renewal. The candidate are expected to lead independent research projects, work closely with our collaborators, mentor students, and publish in several high-impact journals each year. A PhD is required.

Applicants should have evidence of a strong EE/CS background, exceptional communication skills, outstanding analytical skills and demonstrated independence as a researcher. A publication record in high-impact factor conferences and journals in computer vision or robotics is required.

To Apply:

Applications (assembled as a single PDF file) should contain

• a cover letter
• a complete CV, university transcripts
• names and contact information of three references (expected to provide letters of recommendation)
• copies of up to three relevant scientific papers

Applications should be emailed to michael.yip.ucsd@gmail.com. Include the subject line "[jobs] Postdoc opportunity - your name".
