The research laboratory is partner of Sheffield Robotics, a collaboration between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, which is one of the leading international groups in intelligent systems and robotics and which has received considerable investment in equipment as well as in facilities and staff at both Universities, including state-of-the-art robotics equipment such as the iCub, the Care-o-bot 4, and the Fetch Mobile Manipulator, plus many other robotic platforms like the humanoids Tiago, Pepper and NAO.

You must hold a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant subject; possess excellent communication skills, and an excellent research record and reputation, including publications of the highest quality suitable for submission to the REF (UK Research Excellence Framework). Experience of managing large research projects and contributing to external funding applications would be desirable.
