Job description

The postdoctoral researcher will work on robot learning for manipulation, exploring state-of-the-art Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for tabletop, mobile, or dexterous manipulation. A key focus is leveraging whole-body motion and/or dexterous, multi-fingered hands to improve perception and control, enabling robots to solve complex, contact-rich tasks that require coordinated base, arm, and hand behaviors in dynamic environments.

We seek candidates with a strong background in robotics and machine learning, and demonstrated experience in at least two of the following areas: deep learning, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, robot perception, navigation, grasping, and dexterous or mobile manipulation. Experience in any of the following is especially valued: whole-body control, humanoid or multi-DOF platforms, multi-fingered hands, tactile sensing, or learning-based manipulation in simulation and/or on real systems.

Qualifications

• A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree (research expertise in machine learning/robotics).
• Documented strong programming skills.
• An outstanding research and publication list.
• Well developed analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Very good knowledge of English (written and oral).

Preferred qualifications: a doctoral degree obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline; good pedagogical ability; ability to work independently and collaboratively. Great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.

Terms of employment

Type of employment: temporary position, full time. First day of employment: according to agreement. Salary: monthly salary. Number of positions: 2. Full-time equivalent: 100%. City: Stockholm, Sweden. Reference number: PA-2026-3257. The position is placed at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). In case of discrepancy between the Swedish original and the English translation of the announcement, the Swedish version takes precedence.
