 ======Working With Us====== ======Working With Us======
  
-=====Assistant Professor (with Tenure-Track Option) of Computer Science in Embodied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning=====+  * We are always looking for strong, motivated students to work on our [[theses|Bachelor or Master projects]].
  
-**Starting date:** October 1, 2018, or as soon as possible thereafter. 
  
-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.+===== 2 Ph.DStudent Positions in Machine Learning for Robotics or Computer Vision at U. Innsbruck, Austria =====
  
-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 LearningIt 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.+The [[@/​|Intelligent and Interactive ​Systems]] group (Prof. Justus Piater ​and ProfAntonio Rodríguez-Sánchez) ​is looking for two talented Ph.D. candidates.
  
-//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 autonomy, flexibility,​ fault tolerance, and the ability of artificial systems to communicate within our world. +==== The Positions ​====
- +
-Specific topics of interest may include for example: +
- +
-  * Autonomous robots or vehicles capable of learning; +
-  * 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. +
- +
-For more information and application details see our [[https://​www.academics.de/​jobs/​preview/​160453?​preview_id=mUd7-UF1JV1FX3siDx2ZBK4EODwYmRf-FZWTgEa4JFQ=|job ad]] on academics.de,​ and contact [[Justus.Piater@uibk.ac.at|Prof. Justus Piater]]. +
