[DMANET] Post-doc position University of Lisbon - collective adaptive systems

FYI:

Postdoctoral position in collective adaptive systems at the University
of Lisbon (available immediately)

The Laboratory of Agent Modeling (LabMAg) - University of Lisbon,
Portugal, invites applications
for a full-time postdoctoral research position in the frame of the
ASSISIbf (http://assisi-project.eu/) on mixed natural-artificial
societies for up to 5 years.

Primary responsibilities: We are seeking an outstanding postdoc to join
LabMAg, University of Lisbon, in the frame of ASSISIbf European project
on mixed natural-artificial collective adaptive systems. The local team
coordinator is Luís Correia (http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~lcorreia/). The
postdoc fellow will focus on studying and applying swarm intelligence
concepts to enable the synthesis of self-organised collective behaviour
in mixed natural-artificial societies. Besides specification of robot
behaviour and investigation of swarm intelligence approaches, the
position holder will also investigate self-adaptation through
evolutionary computation in groups of autonomous robots.

Requirements for admission: PhD in Computer Science and Engineering or
related fields. Applicants must have a strong background in Artificial
Intelligence/Artificial Life or in Complex Systems, and be proficient in
English. Preference will be given to candidates experienced in robotics,
machine learning and bio-inspired computation. Experience in
visualisation is not mandatory but will be valued.
