[Kostas Karpouzis]

*Postdocs Openings in Robot Programming by Demonstration and Human-Robot 
Interaction*

The Learning Algorithm and Systems Laboratory at the EPFL (Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology, Lausanne) seeks immediately TWO qualified
postdoctoral researchers in the fields of robot programming by
demonstration and human-robot interaction.

The candidates will work within the framework of two European projects
that develop algorithms for learning the dynamics of motion to perform
manipulatory tasks through human demonstration and  for learning
bimanual coordination tasks in collaboration with a human.

The candidates are expected to have an Engineering BSc/Msc degree (EE,
CS or Physics/Maths) and a PhD degree in robotics (not necessarily in
human-robot interaction) with a strong background in machine learning.

The applicants should be fluent in English.

The initial Postdoctoral positions are for one year each, with a
possibility of 1 year extension. The positions are open immediately.

*Application:* Interested candidates should send a short letter of
motivation, along with their detailed CV, copy of two of their most
recent and relevant publications and names of 2 references to Prof. Aude
Billard (_aude.billard at epfl.ch_.)*
