Today we had the privilege to see Hiroshi Ishiguro’s “Robot Drama” in the Yamamoto Nohgakudo in Osaka. This event was part of the HRI2010 conference. The play itself was amazing and the following discussion in the theater between Ishiguro, the actors and the audience was funny and insightful.
In this short presentation I give practical tips for making a career as a researcher in academia and industry. I present sobering facts about the structure of research organizations and highlight important strategies. I gave this presentation at the Young Researchers career panel at the HRI2010 conference in Osaka.
