The project objective is to design accurate eye gaze estimation algorithms suitable for interaction with mobile phones and laptops. This will require the investigation and integration of different computer vision and machine learning technologies for both enhancing current systems as well as to develop novel strategies. The project will be conducted in partnership with Eyeware (</span><a href="https://eyeware.tech/" class="" style="text-decoration: none;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://eyeware.tech/</span></a><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">), therefore there will be a direct impact of your research on the development of commercial applications.</span></font></div><font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial" class=""><br class=""></font><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">The ideal candidate should hold a PhD in computer science or engineering with good analytical skills, a strong publication record and background in several of the following:</font></span></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">- computer vision (including 3D geometry)</font></span></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">- machine learning</font></span></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">- deep learning </font></span></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">- optimisation methods </font></span></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">- programming experience.</font></span></div><font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial" class=""><br class=""></font><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">The position is to be filled immediately, and is for one year.
