Working With Us

We are always looking for strong, motivated students to work on our Bachelor or Master projects.

Ph.D. Student Position in Robot Learning or Computer Vision at U. Innsbruck

The research group in Intelligent and Interactive Systems, led by Profs. Justus Piater and Antonio Rodríguez-Sánchez, has an opening for a Ph.D. student, on a university assistant position that includes minor teaching requirements. The research will be loosely aligned with ongoing research projects in the lab:

  • deep learning in computer vision or robotics
  • computational models of biological vision
  • biologically-inspired computer vision
  • robot vision and closed-loop sensorimotor interaction
  • open-ended and intrinsically-motivated robot learning
  • concept discovery by learning robots
  • goal-oriented exploratory learning
  • prediction of action effects
  • robot skill optimization
  • human-robot interaction and collaboration

Your Profile

Applicants must have

  • earned, or be about to earn, an M.Sc. degree or equivalent in computer science or other relevant area,
  • an excellent academic record,
  • a strong background in machine learning as well as in robotics and/or computer vision,
  • demonstrated prior achievements in some of the above areas,
  • a strong mathematical background,
  • substantial programming experience in C++ and other languages, and
  • excellent written and oral communication skills in English.

Experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow/Keras and/or ROS will be a strong asset.

Enthusiasm for leading-edge research, a team spirit and independent problem-solving skills are essential.
