Graduate Student Position at KTH
The department of Electronics, Computer and Software Systems at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden) seeks applicants for a graduate student position in the area of Software Engineering of Distributed Systems. The studies are initially directed towards the degree of T.Lic. with the intention to continue towards T.Dr. (Ph.D). The student will initially perform his/her studies in the context of the EU-IST funded project ROBOSWARM (Knowledge Environment for Interacting ROBOt SWARMs). Expected project start is November 2006.
The general objective of the project is to develop an open knowledge environment for self-configurable, low-cost and robust robot swarms usable in everyday applications. Advances in the state-of-the art of networked robotics are proposed through introduction of a local and global knowledge base using ontology and semantic for ad hoc communication within a low-cost swarm of autonomous robots operating in the surrounding smart IT infrastructure. The work will address the development of flexible, cost-effective, dependable, and user-driven robot swarms, which possess a higher intelligence collectively than each member of the swarm independently. The project`s part covered by the position includes work on universal semantically machine understandable representation and communication format, global robotic Web services, coordination and decision making.
The appointment will be full time for an initial duration of 24 months, with the possibility of renewal. It will include 80% research and 20% teaching assistance or other department duties.
Required Qualifications
A master or equivalent degree in computer science or a strongly related area is required. Knowledge of Semantic Web, Ontology, Web services and agent technology is desirable. To address its varied work, KTH aims to employ a diversity of talent and thus welcomes applicants who will add to the variety of the University, especially as concerns its gender structure. Knowledge of the Swedish language is not a pre-requisite.
Application
Application including CV and detailed information on education and a reference should be submitted to
Kungl Tekniska H gskolan ICT/ECS
R-M L venstig Electrum 229
S-164 40 Kista, Sweden.
Deadline for application is October 30, 2006
