-===== Multiple Positions in Robotics/Vision/Learning at U. Innsbruck =====
+======Working With Us======
-In a new research group in Intelligent and Interactive Systems at the [[http://uibk.ac.at|University of Innsbruck]], directed by Prof. Justus Piater, multiple positions are available for postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students.
+We do not currently have any open positions.
-==== Our Opportunities ====
+=====Notice For Non-EU/EEA Prospective Master Students=====
-These (non-permanent) university research staff positions are not tied to any specific research projects. Research topics are negotiable within the range of activities of the research group. Topics of particular interest include:
+You are welcome to apply for our CS or SE Master programs via our regular [[https://www.uibk.ac.at/studium/anmeldung-zulassung/masterstudium/|admissions process]]. Our university offers comprehensive [[https://www.uibk.ac.at/en/international-relations-office/student-mobility/incoming/|information for incoming students]].
-    * gesture-based human-computer interaction
+In Austria, as in most of Europe, Master students are regular students:
-    * video analysis for sign language transcription
-    * semantic understanding of observed manipulative actions
-    * exploratory learning from sensorimotor to conceptual levels
-    * learning to learn: leverage experience to guide future learning
-    * perception and inference for robotic grasping and manipulation
-    * landmark-based visual SLAM
-    * reactive algorithms for obstacle avoidance and navigation
-Most of these topics tie in with one active and two upcoming EU-FP7-ICT projects in Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics, offering a vibrant and internationally well-connected research environment.
+  * A faculty advisor becomes involved only later, in the context of the Master thesis. There is generally no point contacting potential faculty advisors prior to your admission to our Master program.
+  * In Austria, university tuition fees are low but you'll have to finance your own subsistence (about 1000 EUR/month).
+  * Master students do not receive salaries. You cannot generally count on finding employment on or off campus, if your visa even allows it. To avoid surprises check your visa requirements beforehand.
-Postdoctoral researchers are expected to assume leadership roles. In addition, all positions involve minor teaching requirements.
-Salaries are internationally competitive and commensurate with qualification and experience.
-==== Your Profile ====

+==== About the position ====
-    * statistical machine learning
+The research activity comprises the integration of robotic perception and execution mechanisms for task-oriented object manipulation in everyday environments. The (negotiable) focus is on affordance-driven object part segmentation and object manipulation using reinforcement learning.
-    * probabilistic modeling and inference
-    * computer vision
-    * robotic grasping or manipulation
-    * autonomous mobile robotics
-Applicants for a doctoral studentship should have earned, or be about to earn, an M.Sc. degree or equivalent in a relevant area, possess an excellent academic record, and have demonstrated prior achievements in any of the above areas.
+The monthly gross salary is based on the FWF salary scale for doctoral candidates (https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/personnel-costs).  Note that the gross salary per month is paid 14 times per year. Furthermore, the university has numerous attractive offers (https://www.uibk.ac.at/universitaet/zusatzleistungen/).
-All applicants should possess good written and oral communication skills in English, a strong mathematical background, and programming experience. Enthusiasm for leading-edge research, a team spirit and independent problem-solving skills are essential.
+The position is already available. The starting date is as soon as possible and will be defined with the selected candidate.
