    Description

    The Post

    A cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the Universities of York, Stirling, Cardiff, Manchester, and Southampton are working together on an EPSRC-funded project, Edgy Organism, to develop a novel end-to-end neuromorphic design approach drawing inspiration from how data is processed and represented in the brain and build an efficient hardware architecture based on spiking neural networks (SNNs). The project aims to develop novel computing solutions, that can autonomously and reliably detect illegal or harmful activities in crowded public spaces, with minimum intrusion of personal space and privacy. We are recruiting a team of outstanding researchers from Visual Neuroscience, Psychology, Edge Computing, AI/ML, and Neuromorphic Engineering, to work with us on achieving Edgy Organism project's ambitious objectives.

    As part of this project, Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences is offering a fixed term (27 months) full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow position to work with Dr Elena Gheorghiu and the cross-disciplinary team of researchers.

    Pre-employment screening

    The successful candidate will be required to undergo security checks, to be carried out by the National Security Technology Innovation Exchange (NSTIx) before the appointment is confirmed.

    Description of Duties

    • Design and implement novel object detection and tracking algorithms which are inspired by the organization of visual cortex and designed to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features
    • Design and implement multi-depth learning system for pattern of life encoding and classification
    • Design and implement novel neuromorphic computing architectures, focusing on artificial spiking neural networks, interfacing with edge sensors, and efficient hardware implementation
    • Having regular meetings with team members and stakeholders to track progress, resolve any theoretical, technical, or analytical issues and discuss dissemination strategies
    • Collaborate with the other project researchers to develop the demonstrator applications

    Essential Criteria

    • PhD, or equivalent research experience, in Computer Vision/ Computer Science, Visual Neuroscience, Psychology, Physics, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, or similar technical area
    • Possess specialist knowledge in computer vision/ image processing/ object detection and tracking, and machine learning to work with established software/ research programmes
    • Excellent knowledge and skills in Convolutional Neural Networks, Artificial Neural Networks, Machine Learning, or Brain-inspired computing, including simulation and training methods
    • Possess specialist knowledge in computer vision/ image processing/ object detection and tracking, and machine learning to work within established research programmes
    • Evidence of excellent programming skills in Python, C++/C, MatLab or equivalent
