Luleå University of Technology is growing rapidly with world-leading expertise in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and groundbreaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefits. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of SEK 2 billion per year. We are currently 1,900 employees and have 17,900 students. In the coming years, billions of kronor will be invested in Norrbotten and Västerbotten in major projects aimed at a more sustainable society nationally as well as globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these highly topical research projects and the social transformation that follows. We have a wide range of programs to match the skills that are in demand. We hope that you will help us build the sustainable companies and societies of the future. Luleå University of Technology is Sweden's leading university in the fields of field robotics with unique laboratories for field robotics, deep learning and human-computer interaction. In addition, it is Sweden's leading university in industrial collaboration. The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) group at the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering at Luleå University of Technology is now looking for researchers to contribute to our growing activities. The RAI group conducts fundamental research in all aspects of robotics with a specific focus on aerial, ground and space robotics. RAI's vision aims to reduce the gap from theory to reality, while the group has a strong expertise in field robotics. Specific application areas are robotics for mines, construction sites, aerial inspection of ageing infrastructure, search and rescue with multi-robotics, sensor fusion and multi-robot coordination, including perception, decentralization and mission execution. The RAI team has a strong European participation in several R&D&I projects. RAI has also participated in the DARPA SUB-T challenge with the CoSTAR team led by NASA/JPL. The RAI group is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), Sweden's largest ever single research program, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems that act in collaboration with humans, adapt to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and form intelligent systems-of-systems. WASP's vision is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish industry. To strengthen our team in robotics and AI, we are recruiting researchers working in one or more of the following areas of autonomous systems (robotics) in the technical area of human-robot interaction/coexistence in complex and unstructured environments: - Fusion of Neuroscience and Robotics for augmenting human capabilities - Motion Primitives, Learning Motion patterns, Learning from demonstration - Robotic Assistive Devices for enhancing the human capabilities - Distributed Control of Autonomous Systems - Motion Tasks for Robotic Manipulators Duties and responsibilities Senior lecturers should normally be involved in both university education, pedagogical development work and research. For a senior lecturer, this also includes following the international development of the subject and supervising doctoral students. Senior lecturers are expected to contribute to the university's development work, contribute to external research funding for the subject and participate in/show interest in management and administrative tasks. Lecturers are also expected to participate in research projects and communicate their results through academic publications, and to be active within the research community of their subject. Furthermore, the Senior Lecturer is expected to collaborate with industry and society and contribute to the activities of the WASP program and its national activities. The Senior Lecturer will be given the opportunity to develop his/her independence as a researcher and to qualify for other teaching positions with higher qualification requirements (see Chapter 4, Section 12a of the Higher Education Ordinance). Upon application, the Senior Lecturer may apply for promotion to Associate Professor in accordance with Chapter 4, Section 12c of the Higher Education Ordinance. Eligibility A person is qualified for employment as a senior lecturer if - A doctoral degree or equivalent scientific competence or other professional competence relevant to the position - Demonstrated pedagogical competence through reflective experience, teaching skills and teaching development. - Completed higher education pedagogical training equivalent to 7.5 credits or otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge Assessment criteria The following assessment criteria apply to the position: - Scientific excellence - Teaching skills - Other assessment criteria Other assessment criteria (weighted in descending order): - mobility/international experience (e.g. PhD outside Sweden and/or significant time after PhD outside Sweden) - competence in the development and leadership of university activities and staff - if relevant, the ability to cooperate with the wider community - if relevant, ability to obtain external research and development funding - if relevant, ability to communicate research and development work Information to be provided The position is permanent and located in Luleå.
