Clayton, Australia Monash University Full time

**The Opportunity**

Monash robotics has an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the team. Monash Robotics is Australia’s leading human-centred robot research facility, comprising 9 full-time faculty members and over 60 PhD students and postdoctoral research fellows.

This position will contribute to the research activities of the recently awarded ARC Linkage Grant titled “Intelligent Robotics for Pharmaceutical Experimental Development”, a collaboration between CSL Behring and Monash. The objectives of the project are to: (1) develop a robotic lab assistant that can learn to perform experimental procedures to help with automating laborious experimental tasks, (2) develop and implement an interactive task and motion planner to optimally schedule experimental procedures, and (3) develop the necessary interfaces to enable successful collaboration between the proposed intelligent robotic system and biochemists. Working closely with Prof. Kulic and Dr Burke, the research fellow will develop robot simulators and human-in-the-loop digital twin models of laboratory robots and experimental equipment, develop robot algorithms for task and motion planning, and deploy the developed algorithms in simulation, user studies and hardware, in collaboration with our industry partner.

To be successful in this role, you will hold a doctoral qualification in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field, with demonstrated hands-on research experience in an area of robotics, automation or software engineering and familiarity with robotics programming libraries and simulation environments.
