CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in AI, Computer Vision and Robotics - [Archived Advertisement]

The Opportunity

• Do you have a PhD in machine learning, computer vision, pattern recognition, robotics, mechatronics, computer science, or electrical engineering?
• Have hands-on experience working with hardware including cameras, sensors, motors, and/or embedded micro controllers?
• Join CSIRO and have a positive impact on fields including high-speed 3D computer vision, adaptive robotics and additive manufacturing

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

In this position the Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research in new robotics, computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) methods with a specific emphasis on helping to solve challenges that will open new vistas of scientific knowledge and have a positive impact on fields including high-speed 3D computer vision, adaptive robotics and additive manufacturing.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will work within the CSIRO Data61 Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Program, particularly with the Imaging and Computer Vision (ICV) and Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) groups, in collaboration with CSIRO Manufacturing. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be supported by a team of leading research scientists who have from 10 to over 20-year experience in their respective fields of research. The team has strong experience working with multidisciplinary research, particularly in artificial intelligence, computer vision, robotics, 3D printing and materials for 3D printing.

Your duties will include:

• Conducting cutting-edge research in AI-enabled 3D printing.
• Developing novel integrated closed-loop AI-enabled 3D printing systems including trajectory planning and 3D scanning.
• Creating functional prototypes of the 3D printing systems for benchmarking and characterisation.
• Producing high quality scientific and/or engineering papers suitable for publication in high quality journals and for presentation at top ranked international conferences.
• Working effectively as an integral member of a multidisciplinary research team, to undertake independent scientific investigations and carry out associated tasks under broad guidance from more senior Research Scientists/Engineers

Location: Canberra, ACT
Salary: AU$88k - AU$96k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 3 years
Reference: 75845

To be considered you will need:

• A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as machine learning, computer vision, pattern recognition, robotics, mechatronics, computer science, or electrical engineering. Please note: To be eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (or part-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience working with hardware including cameras, sensors, motors, and/or embedded micro controllers.
• Demonstrated skills and experience in artificial intelligence, 3D computer vision and/or robotics research. A proven track record through literature review, qualitative and quantitative research and laboratory methods.
• Demonstrated programming experience for machine learning, computer vision and/or robotics using one or more common programming languages including C++, Python and Matlab.
• High level written and oral communication skills with the ability to represent the research team effectively internally and externally, including the presentation of research outcomes at national and international conferences.
• A sound history of publication in peer reviewed journals and/or authorship of scientific papers reports, grant applications or patents. Contributions to publications in top tier conferences and journals (e.g., IEEE T-PAMI, IEEE T-TIP, IJCV, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, T-ASME, T-RO, RAL, RAM, ICRA, and IROS).
