-===== Multiple Positions in Robotics/Vision/Learning at U. Innsbruck =====
+======Working With Us======
-The research group in Intelligent and Interactive Systems (https://iis.uibk.ac.at/) has multiple openings at the doctoral and post-doctoral levels.
+We do not currently have any open positions.
-==== Our Opportunities ====
+=====Notice For Non-EU/EEA Prospective Master Students=====
-  * Research positions funded by the EU-FP7-ICT "Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics" projects Xperience (http://www.xperience.org/), IntellAct (http://www.intellact.eu/) and PaCMan (forthcoming)
+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]].
-  * Non-permanent university research staff positions with minor teaching requirements
+In Austria, as in most of Europe, Master students are regular students:
-For both types of positions, we seek candiates with interest and skills in at least one of the following areas:
+  * 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.
-  * Robotics:
-    * grasping and manipulation using one or two dextrous hands
-    * tactile sensing for grasping and manipulation
-    * generalization of manipulation skills based on object parts and shapes
-    * extraction of generic knowledge from sensorimotor experience
-  * Computer Vision:
-    * object modeling, recognition and pose estimation using stereo vision and/or point clouds
-    * compositional, hierarchical, part-based object modeling
-    * learning action-relevant features; affordance-driven categorization
-In addition, all positions involve probabilistic modeling and machine learning.
-Postdoctoral researchers are expected to assume active roles in project leadership and supervision of junior researchers.
+<html><!--===== Ph.D. Student Position in Machine Learning for Robotics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. =====
-Salaries are internationally competitive and commensurate with qualification and experience.
+==== About the position ====

+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.
-Applicants for a postdoctoral position should have earned, or be about to earn, a doctoral degree in a relevant area, possess a strong publication record commensurate with experience, and have demonstrated strengths in areas related to the above research topics.
+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/).
-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 position is already available. The starting date is as soon as possible and will be defined with the selected candidate.
-All applicants should possess good written and oral communication skills in English, a strong mathematical background, and programming experience in C++ and other languages.  Enthusiasm for leading-edge research, a team spirit and independent
+==== Requirements ====
-problem-solving skills are essential.
+  * M.Sc. degree in computer science or related areas.
+  * Excellent academic record.
