CSIRO

Postdoctoral Fellowship

in Multi-Level Evolutionary Robotics

Pullenvale, QLD

Reference 61505

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral

Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists

and engineers who have completed their

doctorate and have less than three years relevant

postdoctoral work experience.

The CERC Postdoctoral Fellowship in Multi-Level

Evolutionary Robotics will undertake research at

the intersection of evolutionary algorithms,

robotics, and materials science. The Fellow will

use state of the art algorithms to search for

useful materials, deploy them into components,

and subsequently create whole robots that are

specialised to both their task and operating

environment. This may involve the use of various

computational design approaches (from

evolutionary algorithms and machine learning to

shape/size/topology optimisation), creating

models and modifying simulators to capture

interactions between the materials, components,

and full robots.

The Fellow will be expected to get hands-on with

our 3D printers for real-world generation and

testing of the robots. The Fellow will also have

the opportunity to engage with the AIM Future

Science Platform, a cross-disciplinary research

program combining materials science, machine

learning, and robotics to generate innovative

solutions for currently unsolved problems. This

project provides opportunities to undertake

placements at our international collaborators at

INRIA, as well as domestically at Monash

University. The Fellow will be guided by an

international supervisory team with expertise in

machine learning for materials discovery,

diversity-based evolutionary algorithms, and

evolutionary robotics.

Postdoctoral Associates-

Human Immunology

Dr. Karolina Palucka, Principal Investigator

Dr. Adam Williams, Principal Investigator

The Palucka Lab and Williams Lab at JAX-GM are

currently seeking motivated scientists interested in

leveraging modern genomic advancements to study

immune responses to viruses and tumors. Particular

focus is on antigen presenting cells in lung cancer and

breast cancer, and their interaction with epithelial

cells. To learn more more, visit the Palucka Lab and
