POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN AUTONOMOUS DRONE SYSTEMS AND HUMAN-AI COLLABORATION

The Human-Centered Computing Group at Aalborg University (AAU) and the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) are seeking three talented postdoctoral researchers to pioneer the future of autonomous drone systems for search and rescue (SAR) and for critical infrastructure security.
Two of the postdoctoral positions will be affiliated with Computer Science at Aalborg University (AAU) in Aalborg, and the third will be affiliated with the Institute at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). These full-time positions offer a unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact research in drones, AI, and human-computer interaction.
Successful candidates will join a dynamic and inspiring international research environment, in relation to two externally funded projects: ‘Natural-language Assisted Human-Multirobot Interaction and Planning’ (NAMUR) (DFF-Independent Research Fund Denmark) and ‘PERSIST: Persistent Drone Operations at Critical Infrastructure’ (DIREC – Digital Research Center Denmark). These projects address significant societal challenges in SAR and critical infrastructure security, in close collaboration with leading industry partners.
The desired start date for all positions can be as early as November 2025, and must start by January 1, 2026 latest. The appointments may be 1-3 years in duration.
