    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    Faculty of Computing, Mathematics, Engineering & Natural Sciences

    Funded PhD Project (UK or International Students)

    Funding provider: Northeastern University London (NU London)

    Subject areas: Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Colour Science

    Project start date: 1st October 2024

    Supervisors (*lead):

    • Dimitris Mylonas* (Northeastern University London)
    • Alexandros Koliousis* (Northeastern University London)
    • Giovanni Luca Masala (University of Kent)

    Aligned programme of study: PhD in Computer Science

    Mode of study: Full-time

    The Project

    We are currently looking for a motivated PhD researcher in Computer Science. The successful candidate will contribute to an interdisciplinary project focused on multi-modal and multi-lingual colour naming systems for communicating about colour in complex images, a research area that impacts multiple disciplines and has a lot of practical applications.

    This research aims to augment colour communication in context by designing a data-driven colour naming system that supports the full complexity of colour lexicons across different languages. Through a combination of crowdsourcing and computational experimental methodologies, the candidate will collect and analyse data from diverse cultural backgrounds to study the relationship between perceptual and cognitive aspects of colour communication. This involves using state-of-the-art multi-modal deep learning models to estimate colour names of objects and surfaces in complex scenes; examining visual and linguistic factors contributing to colour categorisation; and exploring potential applications in a range of fields such as e-commerce and data visualisation.

    The successful candidate will join the "Cones-to-Words" research team at the Northeastern University London campus under the supervision of Dr Dimitris Mylonas and Dr Alexandros Koliousis and Giovanni Luca Masala from the University of Kent.

    The successful candidates will:

    • Strong research and analytical skills, along with a background in computer science, data science or cognitive science.
    • Have a proven, strong educational background in computer/data science or a related subject (see eligibility criteria); background in colour engineering is a plus but not essential
    • Be excited and inspired by the proposed project area
    • Be an independent learner
    • Have strong communication skills
    • Have an inquiring mind and be willing to challenge themselves

    The successful candidates will benefit from a brand new campus on the banks of the River Thames next to Tower Bridge. This is an interdisciplinary, vibrant research environment with international collaboration and networking opportunities and dedicated research space. It will form the hub of a highly experienced, multi-institution supervisory team from NU London and the University of Kent. In addition, successful candidates will benefit from the unique connection to the wider Northeastern University network in North America, providing a range of additional research opportunities and learning resources.

    Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed in June 2024. Candidates are welcome to contact the NU London supervisor with informal enquiries before the application deadline: Dimitris Mylonas )

Each scholarship is fully-funded for three and a half years (UKRI rates) and includes fees, an annual stipend, an additional London allowance and associated costs, such as training.

    NU London is both a UK university governed by UK higher education regulations, and the European campus of Northeastern University – a large, top-tier research intensive, Boston-based institution. Founded in 1898, Northeastern received $230.7m of external research funding in 2022, and is the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. It has campuses across the United States and Canada (in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; Portland, Maine; Oakland, California; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Arlington, Virginia; the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant; Toronto and Vancouver).
