Postdoc Opportunities at the PAI Lab
Before applying, please check the fundamental requirements for working in the PAI Lab, and if you feel a good fit- go ahead.
The following positions are available now:
1. Funded postdoc position (open until April 15, 2024)
Your role:
You will lead efforts in synthesizing the physical intelligence of robots, from the foundational material level to functional components (actuation, sensing, power, control), and their co-evolution and integration into soft-robotic systems, guided by learning-based control methods. Your research will encompass the development of functional materials (conventional and sustainable) and the design and fabrication of material-based actuators, sensors, and power components, culminating in their integration into actuator-sensor-power systems. This groundwork will facilitate the application of learning-based methods to control such systems and lead to the full automation and creation of soft intelligent robots for future human-robot-nature ecosystems. Estimated position start date: August 1, 2024.
Your profile (mandatory skills):
- Proven skills in Materials/Chemistry, especially in soft functional materials
- Strong passion for Soft Robotics, including soft actuation and soft sensing
- Interest in sustainability
- Willingness to contribute to the creation of human-robot-nature ecosystems.
To apply:
