Positions Available
-
The Robot Locomotion Group currently has a number of positions
available. To apply for any of these positions, please
email Russ Tedrake with a cover letter
describing your research background and career plans, a resume or CV,
and the names and contact information for at least three references.
For graduate student positions, you must already be admitted to a
graduate program at MIT to be considered; please ask the appropriate
departmental graduate office at MIT to forward your admissions
information Russ Tedrake.
Position: Robotics Software Engineer
-
We are seeking exceptional candidates to participate in software
development for the robust manipulation project. The selected
individual will develop and debug computer code to interface with a
pair of robotic arms and a variety of sensors and will aid in
implementing advanced motion planning algorithms on this platform.
Funding for the position is currently for the 2009-2010 academic year,
with a possiblity of extension.
Applications should have a B.S. or higher in computer science or related engineering field. Extensive programming experience (4+ years) in MATLAB and C++. Must work effectively in a team (with students). The ideal candidate will have a strong grasp of linear algebra, and experience with planning algorithms. Further background in dynamics, control and robotics is a strong plus.
Graduate Student and/or Postdoctoral positions in feedback motion planning and control.
-
We are seeking exceptional candidates for a number of positions relating to feedback motion planning using direct computation of Lyapunov functions with applications to legged locomotion on rough terrain and supermaneuverable UAV flight.
Ideal candidates would have a strong background in rigorous mathematical control theory and optimization for nonlinear systems, and interest in applying these concepts to experiments with very dynamic robots.
