**Job description**
The Human-centered Robotics and AI Group at Idiap is seeking a creative doctoral student for an open position to design and develop robots for patients with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a neurodegenerative disease where patients progressively lose motor neurons that control voluntary muscles.

The positions offer the opportunity to make meaningful research contributions in the domains of human-robot interaction, artificial intelligence and assistive robotics, collaborating with Dr. Emmanuel Senft, Prof. Jean-Marc Odobez, and a diverse group of researchers.

**Sought profile**
The ideal Ph.D student should have a master (or equivalent) degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, robotics, human-robot interaction, interaction design, or cognitive sciences. S/he should have a good background in programming (e.g., C++, Python) as s/he will spend a considerable amount of time programming and hacking robots and their artificial intelligence.
