We are looking for robotics researchers who would like to work on using robot policies to perform manipulation tasks involving single and dual arm robots. Consider applying if you would like to be involved with any part of the process which includes but may not be limited to

  • working on methods to acquire and process data such as through teleoperation or simulation
  • developing effective models that have high rates of success when deployed
  • optimizing the performance of robots already deployed

In terms of experience, it is incredibly useful to have worked on similar problems particularly at a PhD level. Candidates who have done research in robot manipulation are greatly preferred, but other forms relevant experience are also appreciated.

We’ll have 2-3 interviews to go over technical skills, projects you would like to take on, and discussions about the role.
