Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Industrial Machine Learning

We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research assistant to join the Visual Analytics research group at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by Innovate UK and is fixed-term to 5 September 2021.

This post is part of the project consortium that also consists of Virtual View App Ltd. (consortium lead), Focalagent Ltd. and E.Surv Ltd. The team will develop a new AI technology to improve an existing industrial workflow that includes a series of operations from capturing images of a property to valuating the property. The postholder will focus on using machine learning to develop AI models for room classification, quality evaluation, and defect detection.

The postholder should possess a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion)*, together with knowledge and experience of machine learning, image processing and computer vision, software engineering, and programming. They should also be able to manage a varied work plan, and be able to work effectively in collaboration with others.

*Note. 'Near completion' means that one must have submitted one's PhD/DPhil thesis. This post has the possibility to underfill at Grade 6 (£29,176 - £34,804 p.a.) if a candidate holds a relevant university degree and is working towards PhD/DPhil together with relevant experience.
