Ph.D. opportunities in robotics with full support available for fall 2024

The RobotiXX lab at the Department of Computer Science, George Mason University, in the Washington, D.C. area, is looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students in the area of robotics starting in the fall semester of 2024. The candidates will be supported with full tuition and stipends. RobotiXX lab performs robotics research at the intersection of motion planning and machine learning, with a specific focus on deployable field robotics. Any candidate with relevant experience in robotics, motion planning and machine learning is encouraged to apply. Hands-on knowledge in robotics hardware, field experience and a good publication record is strongly preferred.

The selected candidates will conduct independent research to develop highly capable and intelligent mobile robots that are robustly deployable in the real world with minimal human supervision and will publish papers in robotics conferences and journals.

To apply, visit George Mason University admissions and send a PDF file of the following documents, with the subject line “[jobs] YOUR AFFILIATION - YOUR NAME,” to Dr. Xuesu Xiao, assistant professor, at [email protected]:

• cover letter

• curriculum vitae

• transcript
