It is fixed-term and filled initially for 1 year with an option for extension.  The candidate will work in the context of Academy of Finland project “Symbol Grounding from Uncertain Measurements”, which focuses on the issue how to build intelligent systems which could learn new concepts based on their own experience, by grounding low-level signal phenomena to relevant higher level symbolic concepts, without requiring these symbols to be explicitly defined by a human. The focus is on the use of machine learning and probabilistic models in systems which physically interact with their environment. The work will be carried out in the Department of Automation and Systems Technology, hosting the Finnish Center of Excellence in Generic Intelligent Machines (GIM).  A candidate should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Suitable disciplines include Machine Learning, Robotics, Automation, Computer Science, Automatic Control, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, and other related areas. Modeling expertise, especially probabilistic models, and a strong publication record are considered advantages. Candidates are expected to be experienced with programming, preferably in C++ and Matlab. Candidates should also have good skills in spoken and written English.  The appointment is available from September 1, 2012. The salary is determined based on experience and qualifications according to the salary system of Aalto University. Employment includes occupational health and social security benefits.  For application, please email (with reference “Learning to Ground Concepts”) the following documents attached to the email in a single pdf-file (name the file: "lastname_firstname.pdf"): 1) an application letter; 2) a Curriculum Vitae (with contact details); 3) a list of publications; 4) names and contact information (email) of at least two references; 5) an electronic copy of Ph.D. thesis 6) electronic copies of at most 5 most relevant publications  The applications should be in English and sent to the registry of Aalto University (registry@aalto.fi) by July 31, 2012.  For additional information, please contact Associate Professor Ville Kyrki by e-mail firstname.lastname@aalto.fi, tel. +35840 7359725, or in recruitment process -related questions HR-coordinator Kirsti Ojala, tel. +35840 8341161, firstname.lastname@aalto.fi.      Contact:       Aalto University, School of Electrical Engineering Helsinki,   Finland Email: registryaalto.fi
