Postdoctoral and Research Assistant Positions in Robotics & AI at King's College London

Two exciting research positions are open in the field of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at King's College London, led by Assistant Professor Letizia Gionfrida. The roles available are a Postdoctoral Research Associate (post-PhD) and a Research Assistant (pre-PhD), both situated within the Department of Informatics and the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences. The research will focus on vision-based, reinforcement learning-driven musculoskeletal models for real-world robot actuation and control, aiming to bridge the gap between simulation and reality. The project combines biologically grounded sensing and models with learning-based control to achieve robust and adaptive robotic behavior. The positions are based at the Strand Campus in London, offering the opportunity to work in a vibrant academic environment and collaborate with leading research groups such as MyoSuite and The Leverhulme Trust. The lab is part of the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences, providing access to state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary collaboration. Applicants for the Postdoctoral Research Associate position must hold a PhD in a relevant field such as Robotics, Computer Science, or Biomedical Engineering, while Research Assistant candidates should have a strong background in robotics, AI, or related disciplines. Experience with vision-based systems, reinforcement learning, and robot control is highly desirable. Strong programming skills and research experience are preferred. The application deadline is 9th February 2026. Interested candidates should apply via the official King's College London job portal using the provided links. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers passionate about robotics, AI, and biomedical engineering to contribute to cutting-edge projects in a world-class institution.
