Autonomous Infrastructure and Robotic Science Lead

The Computing, Environment, and Life Sciences (CELS) Directorate seeks an outstanding scientist to lead and support frontier research at the intersection of AI, autonomous platforms, data infrastructure, and domain science. The candidate will have established expertise across automated and autonomous experimental platforms and AI in addition to leadership of multi-disciplinary research programs and the development of novel research concepts.

The scientist will lead Argonne’s Rapid Prototyping Laboratory (RPL), a team of computer scientists, roboticists, data scientists, and subject matter experts, who develop hardware and software infrastructure for laboratory autonomy, support autonomous laboratories in domains including chemistry, biology, and quantum science, work with domain scientists to execute autonomous experiments, and advance laboratory autonomy and robotics.

RPL develops the open-source Modular Autonomous Discovery for Science (MADSci) software framework fo...
