PhD position available in programming languages applied to robotics.

The Maersk Institute, University of Southern Denmark, Odense is
offering a PhD position in the area of programming languages, with a
special focus on modular robotics. The position is open from April
1st, with an application deadline of Friday 2nd of March.

The Maersk Institute performs research at a high international level
in modular robotics and it is in this research that the successful
applicant will participate: the applicant will together with an
interdisciplinary team of researchers develop programming languages
and software engineering techniques for the next generation of modular
robots. The position is financed by the Danish Council for Technology
and Innovation through the project Morphing Production Lines (see
http://ecosoc.sdu.dk/coe/Morphing_production_lines). The overall goal
of this project is to mature modular robotics for application.  The
specific goal of the PhD project is to develop novel programming
techniques for programming modular robots.

In the assessment of the application, attention will be paid to
expertise in programming language and software engineering
techniques. Furthermore it is an advantage if the applicant has a
background in robot technology or modular systems. The applicant will
contribute to innovative technical solutions and therefore has to be a
team player while also being independent and creative.

In general, The Maersk Institute performs research at a high
international level in software engineering, artificial intelligence,
and robot technology. The institute plays a central role in robotics
research in Denmark.

Interested candidates are kindly requested to send their CV and other
