The PhD fellowship will be for a period of three years (possibly with an option for extension of the employment period by one year depending background and qualifications for additional duty work which typically includes work on courses). The Postdoc/Researcher fellowship will be for a period of four years. We have several international collaborators and having a stay of up to 6 months with one of these could be possible for both fellowships. The University of Oslo is Norway’s oldest and highest rated institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees.
Qualifications:Applicants must have a MSc (for the PhD fellowship) or a PhD degree (for the Postdoc/researcher fellowship) or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian MSc/doctoral degree in computer science including robotics and machine learning/artificial intelligence (other degrees would be considered if qualifications match). Thus, applicants should have a strong background in programming, robotics and machine learning/artificial intelligence. Moreover, knowledge in the fields of motion tracking and analysis, sensor data analysis, biology-inspired techniques, rapid prototyping, simulation, and behavior modeling would be an advantage. A number of partners are involved in the project so collaboration skills would also be assessed.
Pay grade (depending on qualifications and seniority):
PhD: NOK 449 400 – 497 400 per year, approx.: €45,800 − 50,700 / $51,600 − 57,100
Postdoc: NOK 515 200 – 597 400 per year, approx.: €52,500 − 61,000 / $59,200 − 68,700
