This post shares a digest of open PhD and postdoctoral positions in robotics and autonomous systems from the Robotics-Worldwide community, with opportunities at the University of Miami (USA), CIMAT (Mexico), and a fully funded PhD at the University of Aberdeen & University of Lincoln (UK). Research areas include legged robots, wearable exoskeletons, reinforcement learning, marine robotics, aerial navigation, vision-based autonomous landing, computer vision, machine learning, and climate-adaptive digital viticulture using drones and AI. The UK PhD project focuses on leveraging airborne and ground-based drones, canopy modelling, digital twin technology, and AI robotics for climate-adaptive vineyard management, aiming to optimize vineyard resilience and productivity in response to climate change. The CIMAT postdoc is funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and centers on aerial robotics and autonomous landing. The University of Miami positions are in the Robotics & Mechatronics Lab, led by Prof. Pinhas Ben-Tzvi, with research on legged robots and exoskeletons. Applicants should have relevant degrees and skills in robotics, AI, engineering, or computer science. The UK PhD is fully funded by UKRI SUSTAIN CDT, and the CIMAT postdoc is ONR-funded. Application deadlines and procedures vary; the UK PhD deadline is 17 October 2025. Interested candidates should visit the provided links or contact supervisors directly for details.
