The fellowship is a full-time position with a fixed-term period of three years, with a preferred start date at the latest August 15, 2023. However, there is an option for extension of the employment depending on the qualifications of the recruited candidate, the department’s need for teaching, and the centre’s need for assistance. We have several international collaborators and having a stay of up to 6 months with one of these can be relevant. The University of Oslo is Norway’s oldest and highest rated institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7500 employees.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a Master’s degree in computer science, robotics, computational psychology or other relevant field. Thus, applicants should have a strong background in programming, as well as machine learning/deep learning and robotics. Skills in psychology-inspired computing models, user-centered design, human behaviour modelling, human-robot interaction, motion tracking and analysis, and robot simulation, perception and control are an advantage. Further, having scientific publications 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):
NOK 532 200 – 575 400 per year, approx.: € 44,350 – 47,950 or $ 47,097 – 50,920
