[Luís Correia]

Postdoctoral position in collective adaptive systems at the University of Lisbon (available immediately)

The Laboratory of Agent Modeling (LabMAg) - University of Lisbon, Portugal, invites applications
for a full-time postdoctoral research position in the frame of the ASSISIbf (http://assisi-project.eu/) on mixed natural-artificial societies for up to 5 years.

Primary responsibilities: We are seeking an outstanding postdoc to join LabMAg, University of Lisbon, in the frame of ASSISIbf European project on mixed natural-artificial collective adaptive systems. The local team coordinator is Luís Correia (http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~lcorreia/).  The postdoc fellow will focus on studying and applying swarm intelligence concepts to enable the synthesis of self-organised collective behaviour in mixed natural-artificial societies. Besides specification of robot behaviour and investigation of swarm intelligence approaches, the position holder will also investigate self-adaptation through evolutionary computation in groups of autonomous robots.

Requirements for admission:  PhD in Computer Science and Engineering or related fields. Applicants must have a strong background in Artificial Intelligence/Artificial Life or in Complex Systems, and be proficient in English. Preference will be given to candidates experienced in robotics, machine learning and bio-inspired computation. Experience in visualisation is not mandatory but will be vaulted.
