Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher, School of Computer Science & Information Technology
24 Months, Fixed-Term, Whole-Time Post
Position Summary
Applications are invited for a Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher position within the School of Computer Science & Information Technology.
External appointments made directly to Senior Post-Doctoral research positions must have previous post-doctoral experience of at least 3 years.
PERCeiVE (deriving PERceptual Confidence in cooperative Vehicular Environments) (CONNECT2-T4) will address the challenge of determining belief/confidence in cooperatively shared environmental perception data so that it can be trusted to make a control decision. The challenge of deriving strong confidence/belief in a vehicle’s perceived environment based on evidence (local & shared sensor readings) is under addressed, as such shared sensor readings may be subject to spatial correlations, occlusions, limited perception range, or sensor specific detection inaccuracies e.g. under certain weather conditions.
We are interested in leveraging evidence theory/reasoning, otherwise known as the theory of belief functions, or similar techniques to determine perceptual confidence applied to the domain of cooperation perception in a vehicular context.
We are now looking for a Senior Post Doctoral Researcher to join our research team at the nasc research/CONNECT Centre. This position provides an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic and inclusive research team at University College Cork (UCC), working within the large-scale national Science Foundation Ireland funded CONNECT Centre for Future Networks and hosted by UCC’s new nasc research centre within the School of Computer Science & Information Technology (CSIT).
The research will be carried out under the supervision of Dr Aisling O’ Driscoll and Professor Dirk Pesch. The appointee will work together with other Postdocs and PhD students on vehicular networking. The researcher will be expected to make significant contributions to the research agenda of the CONNECT research centre, working closely with the Principal Investigators Dr O’Driscoll and Professor Pesch and with academic and industry collaborators.
Candidates are expected to have experience in two or more of the following: vehicular networks, wireless communication protocols, belief frameworks, cooperative perception and should demonstrate a strong background in mathematical principles and analytical evaluation. Previous knowledge of belief/trust for vehicular cooperative perception is a distinct advantage as is experience with algorithm development and networking simulation.
