*Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Robotics and Animation *

We have an opening for one postdoctoral position in Robotics and
Animation. The successful candidate is expected to have (or be near
completion) a PhD in the area of computer animation and graphics and the
candidate is expected to have strong mathematical skills in the area of
optimization and control theory, and good programming skills. It is also
preferable to have experience working in the area of machine learning or
robotics and have some familiarity of concepts such as character
animation, 3D physical simulation and machine learning techniques. The
post is funded by an EPSRC project that focuses on developing
state-of-the-art motion generation systems for robotic manipulation
under uncertainty using concepts of topology space and data driven
dimensionality reduction. The appointee will be responsible for direct
implementation of character / humanoid control in physical simulators
(Open Dynamics Engine, PhysX), simulation of deformable objects
including strands and cloth, and control of robots such as the Kuka LWR
and Nao Humanoids.

The post is available from 1st September 2011 until 28th February 2014
