Postdoctoral Fellowship in Robotics
The Opportunity
The College of Arts and Creative
Enterprises seeks a qualified candidate to fill a full-time
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Robotics at the CACE Digital Fabrication
Lab. The appointment begins in August 2017 on the Dubai campus. The
expected duration of the position is two years with a possibility of
renewal for a third year.
Under supervision of the Principal
Investigator of the Research Cluster “21st Century Fabrication
and Robotics” the fellow co-supervises the work of
undergraduate students and staff, publishes research papers,
contributes to grant writing and project development, and helps shape
the overall scope and direction of the research in the lab. The
primary focus of the fellowship is on research related to the
advancement of robotic fabrication methods in the context of Art and
Design education in the United Arab Emirates. We address educational
challenges and questions that arise from the use of innovative
fabrication technologies in the UAE environment We research the impact
of these technologies onto the quality of the students´ work,
and derive answers from these works to adjust and shape the direction
of current and future curricula.
With the Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Robotics the College expects the digital fabrication field to become
one of its prime sources for publication/research output. The fellow
is granted an annual budget to be spent on infrastructure
development, material, dissemination of research results, or the like.
The Requirements
The postdoctoral fellow must have a solid background in all aspects
of robotic machining, preferably in the Arts and Design fields. Our
research addresses local students, and their specific needs regarding
the usage of robotic devices. The fellow is expected to actively
contribute to the generation of new knowledge in this field. The
fellow is also expected to contribute to the further development of
the lab´s technological infrastructure.
Applicants must have earned a Doctoral degree in a field related to
the position, and demonstrate a strong record of research and
publications in the field. Even though teaching is not required, the
successful applicant should have a record of teaching and is expected
to co-supervise students.
