The DeepCamera MRG (DeepCamera MRG) will target research on the intersection areas of Image Processing, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and Color Science while using deep-learning. In particular, through the use of deep-learning approaches such as but not limited CNN, GAEN, LSTM, Autoencoder, reinforcement  and continuous learning you will be developing the next generation of algorithms that will make cameras smarter.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct applied research in the aforementioned areas. The position holder will also participate in the preparation of research proposals for funding, project reports and deliverables, and travel abroad for dissemination activities. Furthermore, position holders should publish/present their research results in prestigious international conferences and journals and contribute to the research centre’s key performance indicators.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the Team Leader of the DeepCamera MRG Dr Alessandro Artusi.

Qualifications:

  *   Postgraduate degree in a relevant field (e.g. Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, Image Processing, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Color Science, AI-Deep-learning, Mathematics) from an accredited institution
  *   Strong computer programming skills (e.g. C/C++, Pyhton, Matlab) is a must
  *   Knowledge of Deep-learning and usage of one of the existing Deep-learning environments (e.g. Keras, Tensorflow, Pytorch etc.) is a must
  *   High-impact research publications on relevant topics (a must for PhD holders/an advantage for non-PhD holders)
  *   Previous experience with embedded systems, i.e., Jetson Nvidia module, is considered an advantage
  *   Previous grant-writing experience is considered an advantage
  *   Previous relevant industrial experience will be considered an advantage
