Offer Description
Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years (eg. 2016 or later). The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF.
The postdoctoral researcher will work on one or more topics related to (a) Aerial Robot Control and/or (b) Trajectory Planning for Aerial Robots and/or (c) Multi-goal path/mission planning. In (a) Aerial robot control the postdoc candidate can develop novel model-based and/or learning-based control methods for agile flight in cluttered environments. In (b) Trajectory planning topic the candidate can work on online/offline trajectory planning algorithms for aerial robots to allow fast flight in environments with obstacles. In (c) Multi-goal mission planning the candidate is expected to do research on the topic of high-level mission planning where the aerial robot has to visit multiple goals in minimum time while subject to battery capacity constraints.
The work of the postdoc candidate should enable a reliable and agile deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in unknown real-world environments with obstacles.
