CSE / School of Informatics.

Fixed Term Contract - 2 Years.

Full Time - 35 Hours Per Week.

The Opportunity:

This post will be part of the Centre for AI for Assistive Autonomy, a mission-driven research centre established using a UKRI Turing AI World Leading Researcher Fellowship awarded to Prof Subramanian Ramamoorthy.

The post-holder will be the lead researcher anchoring laboratory activities in the area of surgical robotics addressing two parallel concerns. Firstly, the post holder will work on simulation and skill quantification methods to understand human expert skill in detail, enabling improved training and providing the basis for subsequent automation.
Secondly, the post holder will develop new methods for task level autonomy in surgical robotic systems. This represents one of the main application themes within the centre, alongside assistive technology for activities of daily living, and autonomous vehicles.

This work benefits from parallel work of a foundations team, whose focus will be on fundamental investigations into generative modelling of the full stack of human behaviour, from sensorimotor control to higher level cognitive decision making, to enable the development of person-centred and teachable autonomous systems.
