About this position

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence group at Luleå University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop sensing and autonomy for drones operating in Arctic environments. The project focuses on enabling reliable inspection of infrastructure and terrain in severe cold, including settings such as Greenland, where hardware, navigation, and perception systems are challenged by snow, fog, low sun, unreliable magnetometers, and limited GNSS reception.

You will work within the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) group in the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering. The group has experience in field robotics, including participation in the DARPA Subterranean Challenge with the CoSTAR team led by NASA/JPL. Its broader application areas include mining robotics, aerial inspection of ageing infrastructure, space robotics autonomy, and multi-robot search and rescue.

The research centres on robust drone sensing and autonomy for harsh conditions. The advertised work includes cold-hardened sensor payloads, multi-sensor state estimation and mapping, sensor health monitoring and fault detection, energy- and weather-aware mission planning, and autonomous inspection in Arctic field settings. The position places strong emphasis on experimental work with real drones and field trials in cold climates, alongside publishing in international journals and major conferences.

The role sits in a collaborative environment with access to modern research infrastructure and opportunities to interact with industry and society through the group’s applied robotics agenda. Supervision and research direction are linked to Professor George Nikolakopoulos and Akash Patel, both associated with the group. The post also includes co-supervision of students and involvement in research funding applications.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD or an equivalent foreign degree in robotics, automatic control, computer science, electrical engineering or a related subject. A doctoral degree awarded no more than three years before the application deadline is a merit, though earlier degrees may be considered with special grounds. Required experience includes state estimation, sensor fusion or robot perception, documented experimental work with drones, and experimentally verified results in at least one of the research areas listed. Strong programming skills in C++ and Python, experience with ROS or ROS 2, and good oral and written English are required. Experience with sensor integration and drone hardware, perception with lidar, radar or thermal cameras, field experiments in cold or harsh environments, or autonomous inspection missions is meritorious.

How to apply

Apply through the application button on the advert. Upload a cover letter, CV with publications, copies of verified degree certificates, a research plan of up to two pages, and the names and contact details of two references. Use Swedish or English for the application documents and include the reference number 5204-2026.
