The MITRE Corporation in McLean Virginia has an immediate need to fill a
mid-level position in applied robotic intelligence/vision.

The position is for a Ph.D. in CS or a masters with 3 to 5 years experience in
developing active vision systems to support the autonomous operation of robots.
We would prefer a person who not only has a strong background in active vision,
the ideal candidate would have a working knowledge of the fields of Planning,
and Reactivity as they relate to autonomous robots.  The person should also
have strong programming skills in both C and Lisp.

The person will join the team of the Autonomous Systems Laboratory (ASL).  In
particular the person will be working with the PRISM stereo system developed by
Teleos in order to develop visual routines which will be used to provide
autonomous robots with perceptual information about the world.

In addition to robotic intelligence, MITREUs Artificial Intelligence Technical 
Center is involved in a number of other AI related areas, including planning,
heterogeneous databases, natural language processing, intelligent terrain
evaluation, decision-support systems, and information fusion.

MITRE is a not-for-profit Corporation chartered by the Federal Government for
work in the public interest. When you work for MITRE you MUST be a US. citizen
and you can't have any outside jobs except teaching positions. Salary is
determined on an individual basis according to degree level and years of
experience since the B.S. degree. The retirement and benefits are competitive
with most defense contractors.

If you are interested in this position please contact me ASAP (via email).
