Lecturer/Senior Lecturer Position - Graphics and Interaction - University of
Cambridge
The Faculty of Computer Science and Technology at the University of
Cambridge is seeking a lecturer in the broad research area of graphics and
interaction. We are looking to recruit someone who can contribute to the
Faculty's research in one or more of the following areas:
-novel interaction technologies;
-interactive applications of computer vision and machine learning; -computer
graphics.
The ideal candidate will have a practical inclination: tackling real world
problems before the real world realises there is a problem, and able to
articulate that vision as a leader in the international research
communities. We would like to appoint someone who can envisage the future of
technology and build early prototypes to investigate systems and usability
before the technology becomes commercial.
The broad area of graphics and interaction is one in which there is
considerable scope for cooperative research within the Faculty and beyond.
Existing staff in this area include: Peter Robinson (novel interaction
technologies and affective computing), Richard Mortier (interaction with
domestic networks), Rob Harle (location sensing at various granularities),
Cecilia Mascolo (mobile systems), Neil Dodgson (displays and computer-aided
design) and Alan Blackwell (practice-based design and arts). There is also
substantial related work in the Faculty of Engineering, for example, in
speech (Gales, Young, Woodland), vision and robotics (Cipolla), sensing
(Lasenby), machine learning (Ghahramani, Rasmussen, Turner, MacKay), and
engineering design (Clarkson, Crilly, Kristensson). Microsoft Research
Cambridge has major research groups in vision and machine learning, as well
as human experience and design.
Closing date for applications: 30 April 2015.
Provisional interview dates 20 & 21 July 2015.
Appointment from 1 October 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.
