PostDoctoral Position in Autonomous Ground Vehicles
WE ARE LOOKING FOR an excellent and motivated researcher with a strong background in ground robotics and emphasis in one of the fields of a) computer vision, or b) path planning, or c) control systems to join and play a leading role at the Center Synchronized and Sustainable Mobility (CSSM), recently established at the University of Nevada, Reno. The postdoctoral researcher can expect a full-time position with a highly competitive salary, in a motivated research team offering excellent infrastructure and environment. The center brings together multiple faculty in our university and this postdoctoral position offers the opportunity to engage with a number of high-impact collaborations with academia and industry.
THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE will have a PhD degree from a recognized university (or will be close to completion) in a related subject, strong analytical skills and background with experience in ground robotics and specialization in one of the following fields a) computer vision, b) path planning, or c) control. Previous experience in autonomous transportation systems and field robotics work will be considered as a significant plus. Furthermore, it is expected that the candidate has at least one publication at ICRA, RSS, I/ECCV, CVPR, TRO, IJRR, JFR, PAMI or equivalent conferences and journals. Proficient oral and written English skills are expected. For further information contact Prof. Kostas Alexis, kalexis [at] unr.edu .
Expression of interest may be indicated via e-mail, addressed to Prof. Kostas Alexis (please use title: “PostDoc Application for CSSM”) and include:
Formal application is through: https://www.unrsearch.com/ - Department of Computer Science and Engineering: https://www.unrsearch.com/postings/21926

PhD Call: Multi-modal mapping and Active Perception
The Autonomous Robots Lab (ARL) at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is opening PhD positions in the field of multi--modal mapping and autonomous navigation and exploration. The particular focus of the positions is related with the problems of visually-degraded localization and mapping through multi-modal sensor systems, combined with active perception strategies that can enable the autonomous robotic operation in challenging environments and domains. The main research activities will be conducted within the framework of a "National Robotics Initiative" project, and the successful candidate is expected to work in a large multi-institutional team and present excellent social skills.
