Postdoctoral Researcher in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Do you want to develop your research and teaching in an environment where collaboration with industry and society is a given? With us, you'll work with engaged colleagues, access to modern research infrastructure, and excellent opportunities to attract external funding. You'll have the space to make a real difference for your students, your research, and society at large. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) (www.ltu.se/robotics) at the Department of System and Space Engineering (SRT) at Luleå University of Technology is now seeking a postdoctoral researcher who can contribute to our growing activities. The RAI team conducts fundamental research in all aspects of robotics with a specific focus on aerial and space robotics. RAI's vision is to bridge the gap between theory and reality, while the team has strong expertise in field robotics. Specific application areas include robotics for mining, construction sites, aerial inspection of aging infrastructure, multi-robot search and rescue operations, multisensor fusion and multi-robot coordination, including multi-robot perception, decentralization, and mission execution. The RAI team has strong European participation in several R&D projects, and RAI also participated in the DARPA SUB-T Challenge with the CoSTAR team led by NASA/JPL (https://costar.jpl.nasa.gov/). Subject Description Robotics and artificial intelligence aims to develop new robotic systems characterized by advanced autonomy to improve robots' ability to interact with the environment and people while performing specific tasks. Project Description You will work within the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. More specifically, the position will involve extensive research activities within the areas of design, experimentation, and theoretical development with the following combined research areas linked to national, European, and global R&D projects. Prior experience in one or preferably several topics from these areas is considered a merit: Multimodal data processing for decision-making in natural environments Terrain classification and multi-layer environmental mapping Digital twin generation for natural environments Semantic scene understanding in natural environments for robust decision-making Learning-based traversability-aware path planning and safe trajectory generation Resilient mission design for applications such as soil sampling, monitoring, etc. Responsibilities The postdoctoral researcher's primary responsibilities consist mainly of research. You will conduct research with significant experimental components that should be published in peer-reviewed international journals and at major conferences. The position will include supervision of doctoral and master's students, teaching, and support in securing funding for future research projects from research funders/councils, the EU Framework Programme, or industry. Qualifications To be eligible for employment as a postdoctoral researcher, you must hold a doctoral degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a doctoral degree in automatic control or electrical engineering and electronics, or a related field. It is meritorious if your degree was completed at most three years before the final application deadline for this position. If there are special grounds, a doctoral degree completed earlier may be considered, for example in cases of various types of statutory leave. The research tasks require a solid mathematical background with demonstrated advanced experimental skills and excellent programming skills (e.g., C++, ROS, Matlab, etc.). You should have a strong vision to evaluate and demonstrate research results in real operational conditions, in an approach to bridge the gap between pure theory and experimental verification. You will need to represent the group in various contexts, both in Sweden and abroad, and therefore need excellent knowledge of English. Information The position is fixed-term for two years with the possibility of extension for an additional year. Place of work: Luleå. Start date by agreement. For further information, please contact: George Nikolakopoulos, Professor and Subject Representative, 0920-49 1298 mailto:[email protected] Trade Union Representatives: SACO-S Diana Chroneer, 0920-49 2037 mailto:[email protected] OFR-S Marika Vesterberg, 0920-49 1721 mailto:[email protected] Application We prefer that you apply for this position by clicking the application button below. Your application should include a detailed CV with a complete description of all scientific merits and publications of the candidate, a cover letter, a research plan with a description of research topics, a list of successful grant applications, a list of 2 people who can provide recommendations for the candidate, and copies of verified and translated transcripts from secondary and university education. Your application must be written in Swedish or English. Mark your application with the reference number below. Final application deadline: September 9, 2026 Reference number: 4296-2026
