-===== Multiple Positions in Robotics/​Vision/​Learning at U. Innsbruck ​=====+======Working With Us======
  
-The research group in Intelligent and Interactive Systems ​(IIS)+=====Assistant Professor ​(with Tenure-Track Optionof Computer Science ​in Embodied Artificial Intelligence ​and Machine Learning=====
-founded ​in 2010 by Prof. Justus Piater, has multiple openings at the +
-doctoral ​and post-doctoral levels.+
  
-==== Our Opportunities ====+**Starting date:** October 1, 2018, or as soon as possible thereafter.
  
-  * Positions funded by the EU-FP-ICT "​Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics"​ projects Xperience (http://www.xperience.org/​) and IntellAct (http://​www.intellact.eu/)+This position is initially limited to 6 years; a tenure-track agreement can be offered within ​the first year of employmentUpon positive evaluation the position is converted into a tenured Associate Professorship.
  
-  * Non-permanent university research staff positions ​with minor teaching requirements+This career position is embedded in an attractive environment of existing competencies in the general area of Autonomous Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Data Science, Recommender Systems, Compressed Sensing, and Dictionary Learning. It is one of 12 career ​positions ​the University of Innsbruck is creating in diverse scientific disciplines connected to digitalization,​ a strategic investment by the University.
  
-For both types of positionswe seek candiates in the following areas:+//Embodied Artificial Intelligence//​ refers to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the widest sense with particular focus on interaction with the physical world by means of sensors and/or actuators. Embodied Artificial Intelligence aims to increase autonomyflexibility,​ fault tolerance, and the ability of artificial systems to communicate within our world.
  
-  * robotic grasping and manipulation using one or two dextrous hands +Specific topics of interest may include ​for example:
-  * computer vision and haptic sensing ​for robotic grasping and manipulation +
-  * robot learning by demonstration and exploration +
-  * generalization of manipulation skills based on object parts and shapes +
-  * extraction of generic knowledge from sensorimotor experience+
  
-Postdoctoral researchers ​are expected ​to assume active roles in +  * Autonomous robots or vehicles capable of learning; 
-project leadership ​and supervision of junior researchers.+  * Autonomous, exploratory and/or guided learning in open scenarios;​ 
 +  * Incremental/​hierarchical learning of reusable and composable concepts; 
 +  * Learning and planning across continuous (sensors, actuators) and discrete (symbolic) representations. 
 + 
 +Applicants should have pertinent scientific achievements in embodied AI and machine learning beyond their doctoral dissertation,​ and should possess an excellent scientific track record commensurate with their academic age.
