Postdoctoral Fellow in Computer Science

University of Otago

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the field of 3D Shape Analysis, combining Deep Learning with ‘traditional' geometric and statistical approaches to Computer Vision. This is a fully funded position at the University of Otago, New Zealand.

This position is part of the project 3D Shape Analysis with Geometric Declarative Networks, supported by the Royal Society / Te Apārangi through the Marsden Fund. The project will advance 3D shape analysis, going beyond current coarse classification methods to fine-grained classification on the basis of shape alone. To achieve this, we will use recently proposed declarative network architectures to integrate collaborative representations and geometric deep learning. This combination will allow more detailed analysis of 3D objects. In particular we will be able to distinguish broadly similar objects on the basis of local shape features. Our initial application is in archaeology, specifically traditional Māori stone tool manufacture. Subtle variations in the waste flakes from this process make them an ideal target for our proposed methods.

You will carry out cutting-edge research combining the latest advances in deep learning with proven techniques using more ‘traditional' algorithms. You will have the opportunity to both direct this research and to work as part of a team to develop, evaluate, and disseminate novel algorithms and to improve our understanding of how the benefits of machine learning approaches can be integrated with concrete geometric understanding of the computer vision process. In particular, you will be responsible for developing proof-of- concept systems that demonstrate the integration of geometric deep learning with traditional computer vision algorithms in a declarative network.

Your skills and experience/Kā pūkeka me kā wheako

You will have a PhD (or PhD nearing completion) in Computer Science or a related discipline with a specialisation in computer vision, artificial intelligence, or a similar area. Bringing an understanding of both recent deep learning methods and ‘traditional' approaches, you will be able to develop novel algorithms and systems for 3D shape analysis, evaluate their effectiveness, and communicate your results.

Prior experience with 3D shape analysis, and working with culturally sensitive data, and deep learning / computer vision libraries are beneficial as well.
