This position is part of a new research programme led by Dr Liang Zhao focusing on next-generation estimation and optimisation techniques for large-scale graph optimisation problems and intelligent robotic perception.

Postdoctoral positions are temporary research roles for recent PhD graduates, typically lasting 1–3 years. They offer salary, benefits, and often a research budget. Postdocs are common in STEM fields and increasingly in social sciences and humanities. Many are tied to specific research grants, meaning the position exists only for the duration of the funded project. Competitive postdoc fellowships (e.g., Marie Curie, Humboldt, Newton) provide higher salaries and independent research freedom.
