Post-Doctoral Research Associate in AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

                [ Grade 6; Fixed-term for 36 months ]

         CRADLE partnership, Autonomy and Verification Group
     Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, UK

This position is for research within CRADLE, the Centre for Robotic 
Autonomy
in Demanding and Long-lasting Environments, which is a partnership between
Jacobs Solutions, the University of Manchester Centre for Robotics and AI,
and the UKRI. CRADLE involves providing project-wide flexible, generic,
verifiable architectures supporting the practical development and
deployment of reliable and trustworthy autonomous robotics.

We are looking for a strong researcher able to conduct research around
software engineering, robotic architectures, and verification, with a
particular focus on the practical problems of implementing, adapting, and
proving modular autonomous robots. The candidate should have a background
of excellent research across at least two of Software Engineering, Formal
Verification, Software Design, or Robot Architectures.

The overall programme aims to develop a body of cross-cutting research
across the field of Robotics, and we are therefore seeking candidates who
show a willingness and aptitude for collaborating closely with the wider
research team which includes Assurance, Robotics and Human Interaction
researchers as well as Engineers from Jacobs. The successful candidate will
contribute to the wider programme tackling these interrelated challenges
and will undertake research in the Autonomy and Verification Network.
