Open Position:Post-doctoral position at the Collaborative Robotics and 
Intelligent Systems (CoRIS) institute, Oregon State University


Description: The successful candidate will develop novel robotics 
interfaces for grasping and manipulation, visualizations, and algorithms 
for enabling remote robotic grasp and manipulation testing. As part of 
their responsibilities, the candidate will oversee a diverse team of 
undergraduates and graduates working on both software and hardware 
related to robotic manipulation. The position is expected to be filled 
by April, but the start date is negotiable. The duration of the position 
is up to two years, with a renewal at one year.


The team:This project is joint between Oregon State University’s CoRIS 
Institute and the University of Massachusetts Lowell NERVE Center. The 
CoRIS Institute consists of nearly a dozen core faculty in Robotics and 
is highly collaborative both within the group and with their colleagues 
in AI and Machine Learning in EECS. Advising faculty for this project 
are Drs. Cindy Grimm and Ravi Balasubramanian. The NERVE Center is under 
the direction of Dr. Holly Yanco and is a state-of-the-art robotics 
testing facility. Both labs have regular interactions with the broader 
community, including industry and government labs.


Duties and Responsibilities:These include: 1) Developing a novel robotic 
grasping and manipulation benchmarking interface that supports remote 
testing, 2) Overseeing a diverse team of graduate and undergraduates 
across both institutions (building and maintenance of novel physical 
benchmarking facilities), and 3) Presentation of work at conferences and 
to industry and governmental sponsors.


Qualifications:

  *

    PhD in a field related to Robotics, AI, Computer Graphics, or
    Visualization

  *

    Experience with one (or more) of the following
