Job description

Job Overview

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months.

About the Department

The Department of Computer Science and Technology is an academic department that encompasses computer science along with many aspects of engineering, technology and mathematics. We have a worldwide reputation for academic research with consistent top research ratings. The Department has an open and collaborative culture, supporting revolutionary fundamental computer science research, strong cross-cutting collaborations internally and externally, and ideas which transform computing outside the University. Please follow the link at: https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk to find out more about our department.

Research Focus

We will work on the geometric fundamentals of 3D representations of objects and scenes with multi-modal data. Visual world is inherently structured with symmetries and in particular repeated structures at multiple scales. Such priors allow us to craft better representations and algorithms that are more interpretable than standard data-based approaches. We will go back to the fundamentals of geometric structure with practical applications in mind.

Position Level

Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.

Salary and Benefits

In addition to the base salary stated above, the successful candidate for this post will receive an additional 2.5% supplement to their pay.
