Join the lab.

We are seeking multiple postdoctoral researchers in robotics and AI. Candidates should hold a PhD and have research experience in one or more of:

• controlling robots with AI policies,
• robot learning systems,
• algorithms for modeling robot actions,
• large-scale robotics datasets,
• learning from human demonstrations,
• reinforcement learning applied to robotics or shared autonomy.

We are looking for postdocs who can independently lead research from idea to publication, who are rigorous and hard-working, and who communicate well with collaborators across disciplines.

To apply, email kao@seas.ucla.edu with a cover letter, CV, and a short statement of research interests.

Prospective PhD students must first be admitted to UCLA in one of the three departments through which the PI can advise:

• Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE),
• Computer Science (CS),
• Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program (IDP).

If you are interested in our lab, you can send me an email with your background, interests, CV, and which program you are applying to. However, please note that due to the volume of requests, I am unable to reply to your email with more information.

In our lab, we ask for at least a year commitment from undergraduate and MS students, and as such, we only offer these positions to UCLA students or recent UCLA graduates. To apply, please fill out this application. You will need to login with your @g.ucla.edu email to access the application.
