This project will be undertaken by a unique consortium of acad= emic experts from Loughborough, Surrey, Strathclyde and Cardiff (LSSC) Univ= ersities together with six industrial project partners QinetiQ, Selex-Galil= eo, Thales, Texas Instruments, PrismTech and Steepest Ascent. The overall a= im of the project is to provide fundamental signal processing solutions to = enable intelligent and robust processing of the very large amount of multi-= sensor data acquired from various networked communications and weapons plat= forms, in order to retain military advantage and mitigate smart adversaries= who present multiple threats within an anarchic and extended operating are= a (battlespace). The research fellow will be expected to work in close coll= aboration with our academic and industrial partners together with members o= f the lead consortium based at Edinburgh and Heriott Watt Universities. The prospective research fellow will be expected to develop algorithms and = systems for automated statistical anomaly detection and classification in h= igh dimensions for the networked battlespace. In particular, he/she will de= velop algorithms for automatic detection of anomalies from multidimensional= , undersampled, non-complete datasets and unreliable sources, and solutions= to anomaly detection with the presence of uncertainties and in complex net= works (graphs), e.g., using domain knowledge. Successful applicants will join the CVSSP, a leading research group in sens= ory (visual and auditory) data analysis and interpretation, and will work c= losely with Dr Wenwu Wang, Prof Josef Kittler and Dr Philip Jackson. CVSSP = is one of the largest UK research groups in machine vision and audition wit= h more than 120 researchers, with core expertise in Signal Processing, Imag= e and Video Processing, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, Machine Learn= ing and Artificial Intelligence, Computer Graphics and Human Computer Inter= action. CVSSP forms part of the Department of Electronic Engineering, which= received one of the highest ratings (joint second position across the UK) = in the last research quality assessment, i.e. 2008 RAE, with 70% of its res= earch classified as either 4* ("world-leading") or 3* ("internationally exc= ellent"). Applicants should have a PhD degree or equivalent in electrical and electro= nic engineering, computer science, mathematical science, statistics, physic= s, or related disciplines. Applicants should be able to demonstrate excelle= nt mathematical, analytical and computer programming skills. Advantages wil= l be given to the applicants who have experience in anomaly detection, stat= istics, machine learning, signal processing, and/or pattern recognition. For informal inquiries about the position, please contact Dr Wenwu Wang (w.= wang@xxxxxxxx) or Prof Josef Kittler (j.kittler@xxxxxxxx). For an application pack and to apply on-line please go to our website: http= ://www.surrey.ac.uk/vacancies. If you are unable to apply on-line please co= ntact Mr Peter Li, HR Assistant on Tel: +44 (0) 1483 683419 or email: k.li@xxxxxxxx= surrey.ac.uk The closing date for applications is Thursday February 28th, 2013.
