• Work with world-leading robotics and machine learning scientists
• Apply your knowledge to exciting challenges in real robot systems
• Join the CSIRO Data61 Robotics and autonomous Systems group

 
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience.  These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

In this position you will undertake research in the CSIRO Data61 Robotics and Autonomous Systems group. As the successful candidate you will develop fundamental and transformative machine learning/artificial intelligence algorithms and workflows for robotics applications. You will focus on the advancement and development of artificial intelligence methods and tools to improve generalisation and transferability and algorithms applied to 3D LiDAR and LiDAR-camera robot’s data. You will also work on addressing challenges facing data uncertainty, sparsity and lack of labelled data. 

• Work with CSIRO scientists and engineers within the Robotics Research Group and across other research programs at Data61 to develop algorithms and techniques for deep learning frameworks for 3D LiDAR and LiDAR-camera robot’s data.
• Implement these methods efficiently using programming tools such as TensorFlow and PyTorch on high performance and robot computing systems.
• Publish results in relevant international scientific venues (high-level journals and conferences).
• Collaborate with members of a diverse project team and external partners to ensure research directions can lead to lasting impact in application domains.

Location:  Brisbane QLD preferred, other locations may be considered.
Salary:  AU$86k – AU$94k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure:  Specified term of 3 years
