About this position
Texas A&M AgriLife Research – Dallas Center is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Engineering Lab. The role is centered on developing and integrating advanced robotic and automated technologies for greenhouse and vertical farming systems, with a strong emphasis on practical engineering and system deployment.
The selected researcher will work across computer vision, AI-driven automation, and robotics, contributing to robot hardware development, automation system design, machine vision, and intelligent control. The position combines hands-on experimentation with robotic platforms, sensors, actuators, and embedded systems with system-level testing, deployment, and research translation.
Research activities include designing and building robotic and automated systems, integrating end-effectors, manipulators, sensor-actuator networks, and embedded hardware, and supporting crop sensing, growth analysis, stress monitoring, and plant-environment interpretation for intelligent climate control. The postdoctoral associate will also collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, help execute research studies, analyze data, contribute to high-impact publications, and present findings at conferences and stakeholder meetings.
The environment is strongly applied and interdisciplinary, within Texas A&M AgriLife Research in Dallas and its CEA Engineering Lab, bringing together agriculture, robotics, automation, and AI-enabled methods for controlled-environment crop production.
