The role

Based in a world leading research team composed of members of the Visual Information Lab (VI-Lab) within the School of Computer Science at the University of Bristol, this is an exciting opportunity to join a strong group developing state of the art synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image processing and analysis technologies. You will be immersed within the AssenSAR team, which has over the last seven years designed AI systems for the detection and identification of ships in satellite SAR imagery in order to enable maritime traffic monitoring. The work will focus on the Celtic Sea, one of the most important areas for offshore wind in the UK.


What will you be doing?

You will be responsible for conducting cutting edge research in remote sensing image processing and AI to develop state-of-the-art SAR imaging algorithms. These will serve the purpose of mapping fishing and leisure vessels in the Celtic Sea and investigate their impact to offshore wind. You will collaborate with The Crown Estate and Celtic Sea Power, the two industrial project partners, and help improve their understanding of vessel density and location, which will be incredibly valuable for their planning of marine spatial and habitat restoration efforts.


You should apply if

The successful applicant will have:

A PhD in Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, or Mathematics. Proven experience of signal/image processing and analysis techniques. Experience with Earth Observation systems Experience of programming using Python and Matlab and/or C++

Strong mathematical background.
