[alife] Fully funded PhD position: Swarm Robotics & Evolutionary Robotics at Univ. of Luebeck, Germany

[Heiko Hamann]

Hi

We are currently searching for a PhD candidate in swarm robotics and 
evolutionary robotics:

A funded PhD position is available in the Service Robotics Group at the 
University of Luebeck, Germany
in the topics of swarm intelligence, swarm robotics, swarm modeling, and
evolutionary robotics.

The prospective candidate should have
  - a Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or 
Physics,
  - basic knowledge about machine learning (e.g., neural networks, 
evolutionary computation),
    or mathematical models of collective behavior
  - programming experience
  - English speaking and writing skills (German not required).

The research will be done within the new Service Robotics group of
Prof. Dr. Heiko Hamann which is currently set up. Our group is and will 
be international.

The University of Luebeck is located in the very North of Germany close 
to Hamburg.
Other attractive cities, such as Copenhagen or Berlin, are reachable 
within a few hours.
The recreational opportunities are vast, especially because of Luebeck's

Please indicate your interest to me (hamann[at]iti.uni-luebeck.de),
also to learn about the actual application procedure.

cheers
