<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Applications are invited for a Research Associate (PostDoc) to join the Affective Intelligence and Robotics Lab in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, at the University of Cambridge,
UK ( The Cambridge AFAR Lab: <a href="https://cambridge-afar.github.io/">https://cambridge-afar.github.io/</a>). The Research Associate will work closely with another postdoc as well as several students and/or collaborators on the development of machine learning
methodologies for human behaviour analysis and understanding that facilitate adaptive and personalised human-AI interactions (e.g., human-agent and/or human-robot interactions).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The ideal candidate will possess hands-on experience with designing and implementing deep learning models and architectures, and/or reinforcement learning algorithms, and deploying them for real-world
applications or real-time analysis of human behaviours. The Cambridge AFAR Lab focuses on developing novel machine learning and human-robot interaction frameworks and deploying them in real-world settings. Therefore, we require someone with excellent implementation
skills, and experience with real time and real-world deployments. A very good (and relevant) publication record in Machine Learning for human behaviour understanding, HRI/robotics, or a closely related research area; as well as a high degree of self-motivation,
research-oriented thinking, and a drive for creating systems to run in real-time and in the real-world are all essential traits for this position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
