Technion is a world-renowned institution located in Haifa (Israel) that is consistently ranked as a top-100 university and is known for its exceptional research and education. The GTIIT is based in Shantou (Guangdong Province, China) and will become a leading science and technology research university in the coming years.
This open position refers to GTIIT’s Mechanical Engineering and Robotics Department. We have access to top-tier test facilities to conduct cutting-edge research on fluid-driven robotics. Our main areas of interest are about design, manufacturing, sensing, and control of both heavy-duty hydraulic manipulators and soft robots. We are therefore hiring a Post-Doc Researcher to support the development of our investigations connected to this field.
The Post-Doc Researcher will receive continuous mentoring and is expected to (1) conduct innovative research under the guidance of a faculty member, (2) develop his/her own research directions to branch off into new areas, (3) publish journal and conference papers with international visibility, and (4) support the preparation of some research proposals.
A competitive salary is guaranteed and is adjusted to the candidate's qualifications. Travel allowance to professional conferences is included. Generous funds are also available to purchase all the tools required to deliver successful research outputs (state-of-the-art equipment, consumables, software licenses, etc.).
Extra benefits include work-life balance, on-campus housing (rental paid by candidate), kid schooling fee subsidized (qualified kids can enroll in the GTIIT school), annual health check, professional assistance offered to apply for Talent fund and Research fund, and qualified candidate can receive living subsidy by the city government.
