Postdoc in Privacy‑Preserving AI for Real‑World Behavior

PhD Square; Guildford; In loco; GBP 38.000 - 56.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

University of Surrey seeks an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to co-develop an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal on privacy-preserving AI for understanding real-world human behaviour in service environments. The project sits at the intersection of computer vision, sequence modelling, responsible AI and sustainability, with a focus on a hospitality setting.

The fellow will work across AI, sustainability, psychology and hospitality groups to move a prototype from concept to validated

Competenze

• PhD required or expected by the MSCA deadline.
• Strong programming ability, preferably in Python.
• Experience with ML/DL frameworks and CV tasks.
• Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and communicate to non-technical audiences.

Mansioni
