CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Human-robot Interaction

• Do you have a PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Robotics?
• Support the development of human-machine interaction capabilities in our human-robot teams.
• Exciting opportunity to work on autonomous systems in this 3-year postdoctoral role.

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

The Robotic Design and Interaction group is looking for a CERC Fellow with a strong track record of research in human robot interaction. The CERC Fellow will have experience in human-robot interaction, including e.g., human-robot teaming, human-robot interface development and evaluation, or human-robot experiments with real robot systems, and a passion for working on real-world problems.  The CERC Fellow will fill a critical role in a multi-year project of national significance drawing upon broad capabilities from across CSIRO to deliver societal impact from our science, particularly in human-robot teaming and robotics in unstructured environments. The role will be highly rewarding, working with multi-disciplinary research scientists and engineers solving real-world problems. The CERC Fellow will work closely with world leading field robotics research teams at CSIRO during their tenure, with opportunities for broadening their knowledge and skillset.

The CERC Fellow will have demonstrated strong research in at least one of the following areas:

- Human-robot teaming

- Human-machine interface development and evaluation

- Multimodal interfaces (text, speech, gaze, motion, haptics, etc.)

- Human factors and human modelling

- Human-robot interaction experiments with physical robot deployment

The CERC Fellow will possess a growth mindset, and a desire to broaden their skillset to address key challenges in Robotics and AI. The Robotics and Autonomous Systems group will be providing the candidate with close guidance and mentorship to encourage and facilitate this along with learning and growth opportunities through appropriate learning material, courses, seminars, workshops etc.
