The Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems and the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln seek to appoint a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer with established research expertise and interests within Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The School of Computer Science is a key player in the continued success story of the University of Lincoln, the Modern University of the Year 2021 (awarded by the Times Good University Guide). It pursues a blend of fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary research, with current focus areas in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, and Human-Computer Interaction. Candidates should hold a PhD, or be near to completion, and able to demonstrate a matching track record in relevant research areas. Once in post they are expected to contribute to the School’s teaching activities and to develop their research portfolio, to include: acquiring external funding; supervising postdoctoral researchers and PhD students; publishing in the highest quality journals and conferences; strengthening industry partnerships and contributing to real-world applications with positive impacts; and conducting, directing and leading research to fulfil the University’s ambition and strategic objectives.

The successful candidate will be part of the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems (L-CAS), the College of Science’s cross-disciplinary research centre in robotics. It provides a highly dynamic, inter-disciplinary research environment (with more than 50 colleagues, researchers and postgraduate students from Engineering, Computer Science, and Agri-Food technology), with extensive collaboration opportunities, many robotic platforms (wheeled, humanoid, various robotic arms, manipulators, swarms, etc), and established support infrastructures (GPU cluster, data science platforms, deployment systems, etc), as well as access to funding opportunities like our own Agri-Food Robotics CDT and mentoring support to develop external grant income.  

Apply here until April 3rd, 2022.
