Post-doc position University of Lisbon - collective adaptive systems

[Sara Silva]

FYI:

Postdoctoral position in collective adaptive systems at the University 
of Lisbon (available immediately)

The Laboratory of Agent Modeling (LabMAg) - University of Lisbon, 
Portugal, invites applications
for a full-time postdoctoral research position in the frame of the 
ASSISIbf (http://assisi-project.eu/) on mixed natural-artificial 
societies for up to 5 years.

Primary responsibilities: We are seeking an outstanding postdoc to join 
LabMAg, University of Lisbon, in the frame of ASSISIbf European project 
on mixed natural-artificial collective adaptive systems. The local team 
coordinator is Luís Correia (http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~lcorreia/).  The 
postdoc fellow will focus on studying and applying swarm intelligence 
concepts to enable the synthesis of self-organised collective behaviour 
in mixed natural-artificial societies. Besides specification of robot 
behaviour and investigation of swarm intelligence approaches, the 
position holder will also investigate self-adaptation through 
evolutionary computation in groups of autonomous robots.

Requirements for admission:  PhD in Computer Science and Engineering or 
related fields. Applicants must have a strong background in Artificial 
Intelligence/Artificial Life or in Complex Systems, and be proficient in 
English. Preference will be given to candidates experienced in robotics, 
machine learning and bio-inspired computation. Experience in 
visualisation is not mandatory but will be vaulted.
