Post-doc position in Computer Vision and Machine Learning for Robotics, ENSTA ParisTech

The Autonomous Systems and Robotics team at ENSTA ParisTech (http://asr.ensta.fr) is opening an 18 months postdoc position in the area of vision and machine learning, and in particular representation learning for robotics. The goal is to develop approaches that make it possible to learn relevant low dimensional representations from images that will support behavior learning. The position will take place in the context of the DREAM H2020 european project.
Context
The DREAM European project (http://www.robotsthatdream.eu/) is focused on the bootstrap of a developmental process allowing a robot to learn about its environment and the objects it contains. DREAM is one of the five selected projects of the FET call (Future and Emerging Technologies) on ? Knowing, doing, being: cognition beyond problem solving ?. The position involve robotics experiments that will be done in simulation and on the Baxter robot. The position will be located in ENSTA ParisTech, Palaiseau, France, in the frame of the INRIA-ENSTA ParisTech FLOWERS team (http://flowers.inria.fr). ENSTA ParisTech is one of the most renowned French institutes of engineering education and research (Grande École), member of Paris-Saclay University.
Requirements
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong academic record. An excellent background is expected with a PhD in computer vision for robotics, representation learning (e.g., deep learning), reinforcement learning or more generally machine learning. Significant experience in real robotics applications will be appreciated. Programming skills in modern C++ and python are expected.
To apply
Inquiry about the position can be directed to david.filliat-AT-ensta-paristech.fr Applicants should send a CV, motivation letter (max 1 page), and a list of three references via e-mail to david.filliat-AT-ensta-paristech.fr.
