About this position

Leibniz University Hannover’s Institute of Mechatronic Systems invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to lead and further develop its Robotic Systems research group. The institute, part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, brings together artificial intelligence, control engineering and robotics in a collaborative research environment.

The successful researcher will work with an established group of three doctoral researchers, shape its research agenda, develop new projects and collaborate closely with the institute director and other group leaders. The group designs robotic systems that operate safely and reliably with people and their environments, combining mechanics, actuation, sensing, modelling, model-based control and artificial intelligence.

Research opportunities span humanoid and mobile service robotics, including locomotion, manipulation and teleoperation; learning-based and imitation-learning control; human–robot collaboration with parallel kinematic robots; and the design, modelling and control of soft, continuum and hyper-redundant robots for medical applications. Applicants are also encouraged to contribute their own research ideas and open new directions.

The role offers the opportunity to mentor doctoral researchers, lead scientific development, acquire collaborative projects and contribute to teaching, student supervision and the institute’s strategic activities. Research is supported by modern experimental facilities at the Mechanical Engineering Campus in Garbsen, including self-developed mobile and stationary robotic systems. The institute maintains strong links with international robotics conferences, leading journals, academic partners and industry.

The working environment is international, collaborative and supportive, with flat hierarchies and opportunities to develop an independent academic profile through research leadership, teaching and doctoral supervision.

Funding details

Full-time position at 100% under salary scale 14 TV-L, limited to three years. The advert offers support for international conferences, professional training, career development, coaching, networking, and extensive work-life-balance and health-related benefits.

What's required

A completed university degree at Master’s, Diplom or equivalent level in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, computer science or a related discipline is required. A doctoral degree completed with very good results in robotics or a closely related field is desirable. Applicants should have publications in internationally recognised robotics journals and conferences; sound knowledge in robotic system design, modelling, control or learning-based robotics methods; enthusiasm for mentoring doctoral researchers and students; willingness to teach; and very good written and spoken English. Desirable qualifications include postdoctoral experience, third-party funding experience, teaching and doctoral supervision experience, hands-on experience with real robotic systems, and German language skills or willingness to acquire them. Applications should include a CV with publication list and profile links, a research-group development concept, up to three selected publications, degree certificates, and the names and contact details of two referees.

How to apply

Submit your application electronically as a single PDF by 30 November 2026 to [email protected]. Include the requested CV, research-group development concept, selected publications, degree certificates, and two referees’ contact details. Informal inquiries may be addressed to Dr.-Ing. Moritz Schappler.
