Example of a Research Talk in Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction
by Maria Kyrarini on July 12, 2021
After I completed my documents (see post on June 18, 2021), I start applying to tenure-track positions that were related to robotics. One mistake I did was I did not start to make my research talk early enough. So, when I got my first full-day interview, I did not have a research talk yet. Do not do my mistake! Make sure you prepare the research talk while you are applying for positions. One of the hardest parts for me was that I could not find an example of a research talk related to Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). I followed the instructions provided in the book and blog "The Professor Is In" and I asked several academics to give me feedback on my research talk. Make sure you practice your research talk so it feels natural to you.
I would like to share my research talk as an example and I hope it would be helpful when you prepare your research talk!
Here you can find my research talk:

Applying for an academic position can be very challenging. The first thing you need to do is to prepare your supportive documents. The application usually requires the following documents: Cover letter, CV, Research Statement, Teaching Statement, Diversity Statement, and References.
