Odense M
The SDU Biorobotics section at the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute (MMMI), University of Southern Denmark in Odense seeks to recruit one professor and associate professor with expertise in soft robotics. The chosen applicants will be employed under the Center for Soft Robotics.
Research environment
MMMI is an internationally recognized institute, which has maintained a leading position in robotics for more than three decades. The institute is the origin of robotics research in Denmark and has spawned the world-renowned cluster of robotics in Odense with more than 140 robotics companies, including Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots. Learn more about our institute at https://www.SDU.dk/mmmi.
The current research program of SDU Biorobotics focuses, inter alia, on bio-inspired and biomimetic robotics, in which Nature's exploitation of unconventional principles is of considerable interest. The Center for Soft Robotics research is characterized by a high degree of interdisciplinarity aimed at a systems level approach to soft robots, building on diverse expertise in embodied artificial intelligence, bioinspired design, aesthetics, and human-robot interaction. The research program seeks to elucidate appropriate design criteria for soft robots; how well-adapted soft bodies can be designed and deployed for given tasks, including collaboration with humans; how electronics and computing can be integrated into soft robotic solutions; and how local and distal sensing can be exploited in different environments. Learn more about the center at https://www.SDU.dk/en/forskning/SDU_biorobotics/research+areas/soft+robotics.
About the positions
We are seeking ambitious individuals with a passion for educating engineering students and conducting groundbreaking research. You will contribute to a vibrant research environment at SDU Biorobotics and conduct research on soft robotics and give courses in engineering-related disciplines to undergraduate and graduate students.
Preferred applicants will have a strong research track record, as well as evidence of successful funding acquisition, commensurate with the rank applied for. Experience in designing, building, and experimenting with physical robots and active collaboration with international interdisciplinary research teams is considered a plus. We especially welcome applications from applicants with a multi-disciplinary background, who in addition to expertise in soft robotics, have expertise in design aesthetics and a track record within human-robot interaction research and/or robotic art, or candidates with an outstanding research record in integration of soft materials and compliant structures for developing novel bioinspired soft robotic actuation and sensing technologies, with applications ranging from locomotion and grasping to wearables among others.
For both positions the preferred starting date is November 1, 2022, or soon thereafter.
