Openings & Opportunities

Open Positions

Open positions are posted directly on the Mobile Robotics Lab web site. Please access the information here.

Prospective Ph.D. Students

Learn about my research interests, R&D projects and publications and check if you really want to work on one of these subjects. I always prefer know personally the students prior to accept them. A Ph.D. is a "long" term commitment, so I like to know if we match in terms of technical background, motivation, personality, etc. It is a good idea to take at least one of my courses.

Graduate Students who wish to apply for, or are starting a Ph.D. course, and are considering to develop their theses under my supervision can contact me in my office or lab, or by sending an e-mail to make an appointment. If it is your case, I thank you for your interest.

No direct funding: Unless you are admitted to work under some research project, you should apply for a scholarship for the "Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia" or some other institution on your own. Naturally I will support your application if we have agreed on that.

Prospective M.Sc. Students

Usually, I publish in my web site between Apr. and Sep. of each year a list of open subjects that I propose for Master dissertations. If you have interest on one of these subjects, or if you want to propose a new subject compatible with my research interests, please contact me.

Prior to that, you should understand that:

· You should develop your work in a continuous way and I will not accept people that work only during the last month.

You must demonstrate the evolution of your work every one or two weeks on regular meetings.

You must work on the lab and integrated on the team and not alone at home or somewhere else.

You are close to be a professional so you must behave as one.

I accept students on a first-come, first-served basis and take into account the student obtained grades and curriculum. So if you come too late, probably the subject is already taken.
