[visionlist] Lecturer (Assistant Professor) positions in Vision/Graphics/ML - University of York, UK

[William Smith]

NOTE SHORT DEADLINE! (1st April)

The Department of Computer Science at the University of York, UK is
recruiting 6 new Lecturers (US equivalent: Assistant Professor). These are
permanent positions with an expectation of performing both world leading
research and teaching.

The Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) research group at York (
https://www.cs.york.ac.uk/cvpr) particularly welcomes applicants working in
areas related to computer vision, machine learning and computer graphics.
Candidates should hold or be close to completing a PhD in a relevant area
and should have a track record of publishing in the top venues in their
area such as TPAMI, IJCV, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH or NIPS.

Research groups in Computer Science at York are focussed into four themes.
The most relevant to the CVPR group is “Beyond Human Vision: novel
approaches and algorithms for computer vision, pattern recognition and face
analysis”, though the Analytics (including AI) theme and Image analysis
within the Healthcare theme are also relevant.

Collaboration opportunities

Besides collaborating with the five academics already working in vision,
there is also an opportunity to collaborate with other research groups in
the department (such as AI, Games and HCI), other departments in the
university (we have active collaborations with Psychology, Environment and
the York NeuroImaging Centre), the Digital Creativity Labs (
http://www.digitalcreativity.ac.uk) and the Doctoral Training Centre in
Intelligent Games and Game Intelligence (http://iggi.org.uk).

Dr Nick Pears (https://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/nep).

and around 12 PhD students and postdocs. Particular areas of interest
include: physics-based vision, statistical learning, face modelling and
analysis, structural pattern recognition, complex networks and, more
recently, deep learning. We have two lab spaces, including a dark room
equipped with a light stage, polarisation imaging equipment and a 3D laser
scanner. We have private access to two GPU-equipped servers and shared
access to much larger compute facilities.
