Required qualifications and qualities:
- MA/MSc in: AI, or Robotics, or an adjacent field with a significant background on symbolic methods in AI and/or knowledge representation and reasoning.
- Interest in software engineering.
- Capacity of conducting academic literature research.
- Proven ability to finish projects on time.
- Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken).
- Ability to work in an open, cooperative, multidisciplinary team.
Desired qualifications and qualities:
- Interest in at least one of the following: systems theory, cognitive science, philosophy.
- Experience with practical robotics projects and ROS (for example by controlling a robot arm or a moving robot) or willingness to train during the PhD.
- Experience with scripting, programming, with regards to planning in robotics (PDDL, Prolog, Python, or another scripting language).
- Willingness to travel to Madrid, Spain for collaboration.
- Willingness to attend PhD schools in the project's topics if needed.
Personal development
You will specialize in cognitive architectures and symbolic reasoning.
When you graduate you will have a diverse interdisciplinary network that includes roboticists, AI experts, software engineers and system architects.
You are encouraged to develop your own (current) expertise/interest further within the CoreSense project.
In collaboration with the project partners, you will receive (additional) ROS (Robot Operating System) training. During your contract you will be part of the 3mE Graduate School (more information below). There are opportunities to guest lecture in existing BA and MSc courses, and you are expected to supervise MSc students.
Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis.
