Dear roboticists,
the RobotiXX lab (https://robotixx.cs.gmu.edu/) at the Department of Computer Science, George Mason University in the Washington D.C. area (https://www.gmu.edu/) is looking for postdoctoral researchers. The positions can start anytime from now and are expected to last one year, with possible renewal pending funding availability.
At RobotiXX lab, we perform robotics research at the intersection of motion planning and machine learning, with a specific focus on deployable field robotics. A few of our recent focuses include, but are not limited to, off-road mobility and autonomy, social robot navigation, multi-robot coordination, vision-based navigation, self-supervised learning for robotics, task and motion planning, as well as human robot interaction. Candidates with relevant experience in robotics, motion planning, and machine learning are encouraged to apply. Hands-on knowledge in robotics hardware, field experience, and a good publication record is strongly preferred.
The selected candidates will conduct independent research to develop highly capable and intelligent mobile robots that are robustly deployable in the real world with minimal human supervision, publish papers in top-tier robotics conferences and journals, and advise graduate and undergraduate students in the RobotiXX lab. To apply, please send a single PDF of the following documents to Dr. Xuesu Xiao, Assistant Professor (x**o@gmu.edu): 1. cover letter, 2. curriculum vitae, 3. three references, 4. relevant publications, 5. other relevant materials, with the subject line “[postdoc] YOUR AFFILIATION - YOUR NAME”.
For more information, please see the lab’s website (https://robotixx.cs.gmu.edu/), research statement (https://cs.gmu.edu/~xiao/xuesu_website_files/Research_Statement.pdf), and YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCePdJzWg35eml4WRGkX3GQ).
Thanks Xuesu
