Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Department: Psychology, University of Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom

Closing Date: 10 June 2024

Duration: fixed term 27 months

Salary: Grade7 (£37,099 - £44,263 p.a.)

A cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the Universities of Stirling, York, 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. 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, University of Stirling 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.

Candidates should have a PhD, or equivalent research experience, in Computer Vision/ Computer Science, Visual Neuroscience, Psychology, Physics, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, or similar technical area and possess specialist knowledge in computer vision/ image processing/ object detection and tracking, and machine learning to work with established software/ research programmes.
