The Robot Learning and Control Lab at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), invites applications for PostDoc, Ph.D., and Research Assistant Positions. The Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), is a newly established, research-focused private university funded by the largest private donation in the history of Chinese higher education from the Yu Education Foundation.
Our Postdoc program is in collaboration with Tsinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China. Our PhD program is in collaboration with top universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Upon graduation, degrees will be awarded by the respective collaborating universities. For more details, please visit: https://sites.google.com/view/xiaocong-li/about
Please email xiaocongli@seas.harvard.edu or xiaocong@nus.edu.sg your CV, research plan and 1-3 representative research papers if you are interested in the following directions or other areas at the intersection of learning, control, and robotics:
- Safe Learning-based Control (Theory and Application)
- Robot Learning
- Reinforcement Learning for Robot Planning and Control
- Controller Learning using Bayesian Optimization
- Learning Model Predictive Control
- Ultra-Precision Nanopositioning Control for Wafer Lithography
- Learning Control for Soft Robotics
- (Safe) Human Robot Collaboration
- Robotics Foundation Model (focusing on action-related challenges in Vision-Language-Action models)
Successful candidates should have prior work commensurate with their level of experience and the position applied for in robotics, control, or machine learning, demonstrated by publications in top conferences (e.g., ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL, L4DC) or journals (e.g., TRO, T-ASE, T-Mech, RAL, TAC, Automatica).
