Postdoctoral Associate: Planning and Control for Collaborative Autonomy

Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in the Hybrid Systems and Controls Laboratory (http://hscl.unm.edu) at the University of New Mexico to work on projects funded by the NSF National Robotics Initiative ("NRI: Planning, collaborative guidance, and navigation in uncertain, dynamic environments") and by Sandia National Laboratories ("Autonomous Sensor Tasking and Scheduling Across Multiple Platforms"). The postdoctoral associates will work with researchers in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science to develop theory and algorithms to enable collaborative autonomy in dynamic and uncertain environments. Researchers with interest and experience in optimization, hybrid systems and control, stochastic optimal control, reinforcement learning, planning, distributed systems, and human cyber-physical systems are encouraged to apply.

Interested candidates should provide a CV, a cover letter summarizing capabilities and interests, and contact information for three professional references. Questions can be directed to Prof. Meeko Oishi (oishi@unm.edu). Please apply through https://hr.unm.edu/unmjobs.
