If you are interested in working with us on 3D mapping, scene understanding, multi-sensor odometry or navigation - with a focus on field and legged robotics, we’d love to hear from you. Please explain how your background fits with these areas, what you would like to do, and why you would like to join DRS.

There are multiple ways to join us:

  • PostDocs: PostDoc positions are always posted on the Engineering Science jobs page. They are only occasionally available and typically connected to a funded research project. There are other routes to join the team including EPSRC PostDoctoral Fellowships and Marie Curie Fellowships.
  • PhD (DPhil): Please apply to the DPhil in Engineering Science course and name Maurice Fallon as a supervisor. It’s important to make your application for the December deadline to be eligible for Oxford’s scholarships and other funding sources.
  • Centers for Doctoral Training (CDTs) are basically coordinated programmes for training PhD student in a certain topic - with scholarships from the UK government and companies. You should also consider applying to one of the three in the area of robotics: RAINZ, AIMS or Intelligent Earth.
  • Final-year project (4YP): Oxford students from Engineering Science (or Computer Science): please get in touch if you are interested in a self-initiated or (closed) 4YP project.
  • Internship: Each year we host 1-2 interns over the summer. This is typically restricted to Oxford Engineering MEng undergrads funded through the UROP scheme.
  • Visiting students: Students from other institutions can occasionally visit ORI - for example working on a Masters thesis.

Please contact Maurice Fallon about any of these opportunities.
