-==== Our Opportunities ====+The research group in [[@/​|Intelligent and Interactive Systems]] has multiple openings for Ph.D. students. These are university assistant positions that include minor teaching requirements. The research will be loosely aligned with ongoing [[:​research:​projects|research projects]] in the lab:
  
-  * Research positions funded by several EU-FP7-ICT "​Cognitive Systems, Interaction ​and Robotics"​ projects+  * open-ended and intrinsically-motivated robot learning 
 +  * goal-oriented exploratory learning 
 +  * prediction of action effects 
 +  * interactive programming by demonstration / kinesthetic teaching 
 +  * robot skill optimization 
 +  * human-robot interaction ​and collaboration 
 +  * robot vision and closed-loop sensorimotor interaction
  
-  * Non-permanent university research staff positions with minor teaching requirements 
  
-For both types of positions, we seek highly-qualified postdoctoral researchers and talented doctoral students with interest and skills in at least one of the following areas:+==== Your Profile ====
