[robotics-worldwide] Job opening software engineering and intelligent systems

[Katharina Hoffmann]

The *Bonn-Aachen International Center** for Information Technology B-IT/ 
Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences* in Sankt Augustin has an 
immediate opening in the area of software engineering and intelligent 
systems.

 B-IT is a joint research center involving the University of Bonn, RWTH 
Aachen University, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and 
the Fraunhofer Institute Center Birlinghoven Castle (IZB). Supported by 
the B-IT Foundation and complementary state resources, B-IT offers 
highly selective International Master Programs in Applied IT as well

as summer/winter schools for qualified computer science students.

 Applicants should have a strong research background in more than one of 
the following areas:

- software engineering with focus on distributed systems

- software architectures for intelligent systems

- machine learning

- developmental robotics

- cognitive systems

 The successful candidates will join the European Research project XPERO:

Robot learning by experimentation. The overall objective of the XPERO 
project is to develop an embodied cognitive system, which is able to 
conduct experiments in the real world with the purpose of gaining new 
insights into the world and the objects therein. XPERO ties up to 
research in scientific discovery in the early and mid nineties and adds 
embodiment and the embedding into a physical world as a new dimension to 
this research.

 The position will be initially limited to the duration of the project 
(31.03.2009) with the possibility of an extension depending on the 
funding situation. The salaries and social security benefits will follow 
the labor agreement for the civil service (TV-L).

 Handicapped applicants will be preferred if equally qualified.
The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences strives to increase 
the share of female teachers and researchers and therefore encourages 
women to apply.

 

*Closing date for applications is 28.09.2007*

 
Applications with all types of important documents should be sent to
