We invite applications for an EU funded post-doctoral researcher position in the field of safe autonomous flight. The successful candidate is expected to develop, implement and deploy a combination of off-line planning and on-line safety verification and conflict resolution algorithms to formally guarantee safety of UAVs that fully autonomously operate in densely populated airspace.
