-===== 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 are always looking for strong, motivated students to work on our [[theses|Bachelor or Master projects]].
-==== Our Opportunities ====
-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:
+<html><!--
-    * gesture-based human-computer interaction
+===== Multiple Positions in Robot Learning at U. Innsbruck =====
-    * 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.
+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:
-Postdoctoral researchers are expected to assume leadership roles. In addition, all positions involve minor teaching requirements.
+  * object grasping, manipulation and placement
+  * interactive programming by demonstration / kinesthetic teaching
+  * human-robot interaction and collaboration
+  * 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.
 Salaries are internationally competitive and commensurate with qualification and experience.
