The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University was established in 1979 to conduct basic and applied research in robotics technologies relevant to industrial and societal tasks. Seeking to combine the practical and the theoretical, the Robotics Institute has diversified its efforts and approaches to robotics science while retaining its original goal of realizing the potential of the robotics field. Faculty members hold primary appointments in the institute and also in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the other units of the School of Computer Science. In addition to the Robotics Institute, the School of Computer Science is also home to the Computer Science Department, Language Technologies Institute, Machine Learning Department, Human Computer Interaction Institute, and Institute for Software Research, International.
Faculty candidates are expected to have a strong interest in research, outstanding academic credentials, and an earned Ph.D. Candidates for tenure-track appointments should also have a strong interest in graduate and undergraduate education. The highly selective graduate programs in the Robotics Institute and elsewhere in the School of Computer Science draw top students from around the world. Further information about the Robotics Institute and its programs may be found at http://www.ri.cmu.edu.
Carnegie Mellon University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
