Post-Doctoral Research Associate in ROBOTIC SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

              [ Grade 6; Fixed-term for 36 months ]

        CRADLE partnership, Autonomy and Verification Group
    Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, UK
https://cradlerobotics.co.uk

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

We are looking for a strong researcher able to conduct research
around software design for autonomous robotic systems, and with a
background of excellent research outputs across software engineering
or software architectures, ideally focussed on Autonomy or Robotics.
We are looking for research expertise in autonomous systems covering
at least one of security, sustainability, self-awareness, or safety,
as well as expertise in areas that will link across CRADLE, such as
fault-tolerance, runtime verification, and human-robot teamwork.

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 Amentum. The successful candidate will contribute to the wider
joint research programme tackling these interrelated challenges and
will undertake research in the Autonomy and Verification Network.
