Dear all,

We are seeking a full-time Research Associate/Research Assistant in AI and Robotics to join the Human-AI Teaming (HAT) lab at King's College London, in the Department of Informatics. The post is for up to 36 months, starting from September 1st 2019 or soon thereafter.
The salary is up to £44,015 per annum depending on experience.

The vision of the HAT lab is that humans should work together with the AI as a team. To achieve this, we focus on new research and challenges around Safe, Trusted and Explainable AI, that will allow humans to trust what the AI systems are about to do and to interact with the AI systems to co-create solutions.

We focus on AI Planning and Machine/Reinforcement Learning, and the main application area is the control of robotics and autonomous systems, where AI is used to control (teams of) moving robots as well as to provide robots with more autonomy (for example in manufacturing, space robotics, or satellites).

We are looking for a candidate who can drive our research agenda. You will be responsible for adapting existing as well as developing new techniques, and will be driving its applications in scenarios involving physical robots in our lab. You will also be involved in co-directing the research of PhD students and to engage with collaborators and industrial partners.

King's College London is one of the best places where this type of research can be done, also thanks to the recently funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted AI (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/depts/informatics/stai), that aims to make King's one of the leading institutions for the research in this space.

The candidate is expected to have a PhD (or be near completion) in AI or Robotics, together with a strong track record. Expertise on Explainable AI, AI Planning, ROS, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning would be a plus.

Please email me if you have any question.

Many thanks and kind regards,
Dan
