The Department of Computer Science (www.inf.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for an assistant professorship (tenure track) in computer science with a focus on machine learning for autonomous robotic systems.
Applicants should be strongly rooted in computer science, have internationally recognized expertise in their field, and pursue research at the forefront of computer science. The successful candidate is expected to establish and lead a strong research program in learning for robotic systems, with possible emphasis on reinforcement learning, learning from demonstration, visual language action models, continual learning, transfer learning, and autonomous physical agents operating in real-world environments. Collaboration in research and teaching is expected both within the department and with other groups of ETH Zurich and related institutions.
At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and the ability to lead a research group are expected. Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of early-career scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.
ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
