[visionlist] [jobs] Open Postdoc position in Robotic Vision - University of Lincoln

[Petra Bosilj]

[Apologies for cross-posting]

The University of Lincoln is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research
Associate (PDRA) in robotic vision for wheat phenotyping within Lincoln
Agri-Robotics (LAR), the world's first global centre of excellence in
agricultural robotics. The core of this project will focus on developing
and training novel machine learning models for computer vision, aimed at
performing instance or organ segmentation of wheat through the growth cycle,
for example by adapting deep learning methods. We are looking for a 
candidate
who holds a PhD in Computer Science or related field or is near completion,
with a strong track record in machine vision and practical programming
skills. In addition to knowledge of deep learning frameworks, 
familiarity with
handcrafted machine vision approaches will be considered a plus. The 
candidate
should have an interest in inter-disciplinary work with applications to 
robotics
and agriculture, but experience in the agricultural domain is not required.

Application Deadline:   Sunday 02 August 2020
Interview Date:   Monday 17 August 2020
