CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Collaborative Intelligence for Human-Robot Teams
Acknowledgement of Country
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our?vision towards reconciliation.
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.
This role will be embedded in CSIRO’s new Collaborative Intelligence (CINTEL) Future Science Platform (FSP). Future Science Platforms (FSPs) are an investment in science that underpins innovation and that has the potential to help reinvent and create new industries for Australia. There is growing acknowledgement that the best results ensue when humans work collaboratively with machines in both physical and virtual/digital worlds. The Collaborative Intelligence (CINTEL) FSP will develop the science that enables human intelligence and technology to work harmoniously together across multiple domains, exceeding the performance of either alone.
The CINTEL FSP is about exploring “collaborative intelligence” and developing the science required to achieve it, leading to greater adoption and effective use of technology, enhanced productivity, and safety. It will also explore how people and machines work and learn together, while ensuring meaningful and rewarding work for people, where machines augment rather than substitute human intellect. Achieving this will require an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together experts in social science, engineering and computer science, with domain expertise in the areas in which collaborative intelligence is to be deployed.
The emphasis will be on research at the cutting edge of an emerging field to explore how to work with machines to boost human capabilities, enhance human decision making and performance, and build human trust in machines.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work with a multidisciplinary research team across CSIRO and Monash University to develop advanced types of Situational Awareness (SA) for CSIRO’s prizewinning DARPA SubT human-robot team (https://www.csiro.au/en/research/technology-space/robotics/darpa-challenge). The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to work with our SubT team, who recently beat an array of world-renowned robotics groups and took home second place, and a $1M prize, at the DARPA SubT challenge finals.
Location: Pullenvale, Queensland
Salary: AU$89k - AU$98k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 3 years
