Senior Lecturer And Team Lead Reinforcement Learning For Robotics And Autonomous
vor 1 Monat
School:
School of Engineering
Starting date:
February 2025 or by mutual agreement / Application deadline: 30.11.2024
Your role
- Research & Development: You shape an independent, method-focused and application-oriented agenda in research and development of national and international appeal that creates impact. Thereby, based on your experience and academic track record, you locate yourself in the field of (deep) reinforcement learning as it applies to mobile robots and other autonomous learning systems (e.g., software-based agents, machine learning on and for robotic platforms, humanoids and their interaction with humans).
- Teaching: You develop and teach basic and advanced modules in the bachelor's degree programmes in Computer Science and Data Science, at Master's and PhD level and/or in continuing education. Your outstanding teaching style continuously attracts excellent students to your research group. The share of teaching (incl. direct supervision of students) makes up ca. 50% of your workload.
- Leadership: You build up your own research group and lead it in terms of personnel and finances. Through successful funding acquisition (e.g., EU, Innosuisse, SNF) and as principal investigator you ensure sustainable growth. As a member of the centre board, you take responsibility for the management of activities at the CAI and take the initiative in specialist committees, associations and the public.
Your profile
- We are looking for a dynamic personality with charisma who has an excellent international reputation in applied sciences and drives programs and projects at the CAI. Use cases for your research interests include a broad range of applications, from AI agents to autonomous mobile systems (humanoid, airborne or ground-based).
- You have a university degree with a doctorate in computer science or a related field with specialist socialization within artificial intelligence / machine learning as it applies to robotics.
- In addition, you have acquired several years of professional experience in specialist and preferably also leadership positions in industry, have a track record in the acquisition and management of complex research projects and possess a corresponding network in Switzerland and Europe.
- Experience in the field of public speaking or teaching/didactics is a great advantage; enjoying teaching is obligatory.
- We expect a high degree of independence and self-motivation, initiative and enthusiasm, enjoyment of challenging current issues and a customer- and results-oriented approach to work, as well as very good English and ideally written and spoken German language skills.
- In return, we offer you the opportunity to jointly shape the young research centre in a leading capacity, an unoccupied lab space (one of only two at the centre), and we offer you a great deal of freedom, also with regard to working hours and locations (up to 50% home office). The compatibility of family and career is very important to us.
