-We are always looking for strong, motivated students to work on our [[theses|Bachelor or Master projects]].
+We do not currently have any open positions.
+=====Notice For Non-EU/EEA Prospective Master Students=====
-===== Multiple Positions in Robot Learning at U. Innsbruck =====
+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]].
-The research group in [[@/|Intelligent and Interactive Systems]] has multiple openings at the doctoral and post-doctoral levels in the following general area of research:
+In Austria, as in most of Europe, Master students are regular students:
-  * object grasping, manipulation and placement
+  * 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.
-  * interactive programming by demonstration / kinesthetic teaching
+  * In Austria, university tuition fees are low but you'll have to finance your own subsistence (about 1000 EUR/month).
-  * human-robot interaction and collaboration
+  * 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.
-  * prediction of action effects
-  * robot skill optimization
-  * probabilistic modeling and machine learning
-The positions are part of multiple active and upcoming research projects funded by the EU (FP7, Horizon 2020) and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), all with high-profile project consortia.
-Postdoctoral researchers are expected to assume active roles in project leadership and supervision of junior researchers.
-All candidates must have demonstrated excellence of scholarly work in relevant fields, and must be fluent in the English language.
