The LAAS CNRS (Toulouse, France) has an open position for a post-doctoral research fellow to work with Dr Aurélie Clodic and Dr Rachid Alami at LAAS CNRS.

The fellowship has a duration of 12 months with possibility of extension up to 36 months. The successful candidate will work on the ai4hri project.

The AI4HRIi project aims to build an AI-enabled open-source architecture for human-robot interaction management. The architecture will provide a knowledge and ontology management system associated with reasoning and learning abilities. The system will be designed to handle an overall interaction, in a task-oriented way, from planning to execution (and recovering if needed). In the project, LAAS is responsible for human-robot joint task execution and planning.

The position will be based in Toulouse, France. However, ai4hri is a joint project between France (Dr. Aurélie Clodic https://homepages.laas.fr/aclodic/  and Dr. Rachid Alami https://homepages.laas.fr/rachid/ , LAAS CNRS), Germany (Prof. Michael Beetz team, https://ai.uni-bremen.de/research, Bremen) and Japan (Prof. Takayuki Kanda team, http://www.robot.soc.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/, Kyoto) so the successful candidate will be expected to travel to Germany and Japan for short stays.

We are seeking applications from young researchers with special interest in human-robot interaction. Candidates with specific expertise/background in
the following domains are particularly welcome:
- Human-aware Task Planning and Execution for human-robot social interaction
- Speech-based and multimodal human-robot communication models and implementation
- Robotics relevant to social robots
- Empirical (experimental) studies on human-robot social interaction

Requirements:
- PhD in Robotics and AI, Human-robot Interaction, Cognitive Robotics or closely related topics
- Strong programming skills and familiarity with systems and tools such as ROS, Linux and Git is a must.

Positions are available with a possible option of starting in Spring 2021 or at a later negotiated date. Applications will be reviewed as they are received.

Requested information:
1. Letter of motivation
2. Your full CV (Nationality, Date of Birth, English level, scientific publications)
3. Recommendations Letters
