The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh is recruiting a tenured faculty in Robotics and Control (Keywords: Manipulation, Planning and Control) -- at Lecturer (US equivalent Assistant Professorship - but with tenure) or where appropriate, at Reader (Associate Professorship) level. Applications are invited from leading researchers and rising stars with a demonstrated track history of world class publications and hands-on experience with real world platforms.
We have made significant investments in establishing the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Robotics and Autonomous Systems, with flagship hardware such as the NASA-UoE Valkyrie Humanoid Platform and over 65 fully funded PhD studentships in Robotics over the next 8 years. We are particularly keen on candidates who can exploit these unique facilities (e.g, with a strong interest in manipulation and real-time control on anthropomorphic platforms) and complement our existing strengths and recent hires.
Edinburgh is an exciting place to live and work. There is a strong tradition of excellence and leadership, with the School of Informatics being consistently ranked as one of the top departments in the country.
