Position as PhD Research Fellow in Mobile Robotics available at the Department of Technology Systems, in collaboration with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI)
Starting date no later than 1st of September 2026.
The fellowship period is three years.
A fourth year may be considered and it will involve 25 % of other career-promoting work. Other career-promoting work may consist of teaching, supervision, and/or re-search assistance. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current need of the Department.
No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.
The PhD research fellow will work in the Autosender project, which is a collaborative project between the Department of Technology Systems at the University of Oslo and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). The project aims to enhance current multi-sensor situational awareness systems integrating them with a new autonomous unmanned ground vehicle capable of navigating Norwegian forest environments. The main goal of the project is to develop and implement an intelli-gent autonomous solution that can deploy and retrieve sensor nodes efficiently, targeting dual-use applications for both military and civilian purposes. The fellow will mainly work on robot development and autonomous navigation but based on the interests of the PhD fellow there are also opportunities to investigate planning and optimization of sensor placement, human-robot interaction, operation in winter and arctic conditions, as well as use of communication nodes in addition to the sensor packages.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
