Vacancy in Humanoid Robotics Research

Robotics Research Group, Department of Computer Science,
Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK.

Applicants are invited to join the team working on
developmental robotic learning based on an iCub humanoid
robot (http://www.robotcub.org/). This project (known as
IM-CLeVeR) is an EC FP 7 funded project with 7 other
partners across Europe: in Italy, Germany, Switzerland,
the UK, and the USA (http://im-clever.noze.it/). There
are three iCub humanoid robots purchased for the project
and these will be based in Italy, Switzerland and
Aberystwyth.

Candidates should have good programming and software
engineering skills, a strong interest in robotics research,
and good analytical and communication skills. Experience
of hardware systems will be an advantage as the work
includes the programming and support of the iCub robot.

Salary scale: GBP 25,001 - GBP 29,853.  Fixed term 3 years.

The Computer Science Department at Aberystwyth is a very
successful department, being rated top in Wales in both
teaching and research, and provides an attractive and lively
working environment (http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/cs/).  In the
recent government research assessment exercise (RAE) our
research quality was assessed as being the best in Wales
and within the top band of Computer Science departments
in the UK (2.95).
