[Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee]

Dear All,

The Robots in Groups Lab at Cornell ( https://riglab.infosci.cornell.edu/ ) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the field of human-robot interaction to join the lab. This is a full time post-doc position for a period of one-year with the possibility for an extension for one additional year. The start date is negotiable (and can be immediate if the right fit is found quickly).

Desired qualifications:

An ideal candidate should have:

• Ph. D in Robotics / Computer Science / Machine Learning or any other relevant fields

• Experience in working on probabilistic decision making (e.g. Bayesian learning in POMDPs)

• Experience in working with real-robot systems

• Proven publication record in top-tier relevant conferences and/or journals

• Strong coding skills in C++, Python, and ROS

• Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills

Responsibilities:

In addition to leading the research on predictive human mental models in human-robot collaboration scenarios as a part of an ONR grant, the candidate is expected to mentor PhD students in the lab and gain experience in writing grants, if interested. There will also be opportunities for establishing interdisciplinary collaborations.

Application procedure:

Interested candidates should send a CV, links to two representative publications, and a list of three references to Malte Jung ( mf...@cornell.edu ). Please use [Postdoc21] as the subject of the email.
