Job Description
The University of Southampton are seeking to appoint a three year fixed term researcher on EPSRC project "Reconfigurable Autonomy".
As computational and engineering applications become more sophisticated, the need for autonomous systems that can act intelligently without direct human intervention increases. Yet the autonomous control at the heart of many such systems is often ad-hoc and opaque. Since the cost of failure in critical systems is high, a more reliable, understandable and consistent approach is needed. The research in this project aims to provide a rational agent architecture that controls autonomous decision-making, is re-usable and generic, and can be configured for many different autonomous platforms. In partnership with the industrial collaborators the objective is to show how such "reconfigurable autonomy" can be achieved in relevant applications.
You will be working in an inspiring environment in one of the leading institutions of the area as a member of the Centre of Complex Autonomous System Engineering (www.soton.ac.uk/ccase) at Southampton, England.
The closing date for this post is 11 March 2012. Please apply through www.jobs.soton.ac.uk or please telephone 023 8059 2750 for an application form. Please quote vacancy reference number 091012AK on all correspondence.
