I would be most grateful if you could be so kind as to forward the following details of a postdoctoral RA job opportunity at the Department of Statistical Science, University College London, to your post-docs and final-year PhD students.
Please note the closing date is imminent.
Kind regards, James
Dr. James Nelson Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) Department of Statistical Science University College London
Research Associate in Statistical Image Processing - Ref:1430209
Salary: £33,353 - £40,313 per annum Duration of post: 12 months in the first instance Closing date: 23rd September 2014 Project: Start date: October/November 2014 or soon thereafter.
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate position in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London, UK.
This DSTL-funded project will exploit exciting recent developments in statistical image processing to advance current understanding of how relational and contextual aspects of image data can contribute to tasks such as detection, classification, and segmentation.
Description The project will address the current need to progress new spatial-statistical models and computer-aided approaches that have the capability to capture both the rich statistical, and structural, interdependencies present in complicated image data sets. The work will draw a wealth of recent concepts in statistical image processing that attempt to describe both correlatory and relational interactions of heterogeneous data over, and between, multiple scales. Synthetic aperture sonar imagery will be of particular interest but the RA will also be encouraged to suggest other timely and interesting data and problems.
Of some interest to this project is the use and development of graphs/graphlets, random fields, stochastic geometry, hierarchical representations, or multiresolution analyses to model the dependencies between key constituent parts of image data. It is hoped that a somewhat more comprehensive, relational, description of the data will facilitate better, and more robust, detection and segmentation. The post-holder will have an interest in one or more of these (or allied) areas along with experience of some of the associated inferential/estimation machinery. Good programming skills in Matlab, R, Python, and/or C/C++ are essential.
It is anticipated that the project will afford the opportunity for the post-holder to enjoy some collaboration with Dstl and the University of Cambridge. There will be ample opportunities for interaction with the immediate research group which currently comprises:
. one other research associate and three Phd students funded by Dstl . one EPSRC-funded research associate . two other Phd students funded by an ASTAR/UCL joint-scheme
The post comes with a generous travel and research expenses budget and is funded for 12 months in the first instance.
