[agents] Post-doc positions in the C-MANTIC lab at the University of Nebraska, Omaha

[Prithviraj Dasgupta]

Applications are invited for two post-doctoral positions from highly 
motivated individuals interested in working in the area of multi-agent and 
multi-robot systems. These positions are related to federally-funded 
projects being done in the C-MANTIC (Collaborative Multi-AgeNt/Multi-robot 
Technologies and Intelligent Coordination) Lab http://cmantic.unomaha.edu. 
The lab is located in the computer science department at the University of 
Nebraska at Omaha and houses state-of-the-art equipment including several 
Corobot, Explorer and e-puck robots, and Webots robot simulator licenses. 
The positions will be effective immediately and will be available through 
August 2012 with a possibility of a 1-year extension. Selected individuals 
will be expected to develop independent research ideas and lead research 
on using multi-agent coordination techniques for multi-robot systems for 
performing autonomous exploration and foraging tasks in USAR-like 
scenarios. The work will involve developing software for controlling 
robots on the Webots robot simulator as well as implementing and testing 
the algorithms on physical robots. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in 
computer science or a closely related discipline with an emphasis in 
intelligent systems, artificial intelligence or robotics. A background in 
one or more of the following areas - multi-agent systems, game theory, 
SLAM, and/or robotics path planning, is highly desirable. Interested 
applicants should send a resume including the names and contact 
information of 2-3 references by email to Dr. Raj Dasgupta 
(pdasgupta at mail.unomaha.edu), Director, C-MANTIC Lab. 

More information on the projects being performed in the C-MANTIC lab is 
available on the projects Web page of the lab at
