Low-Complexity Source Separation Algorithms
Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP)
Salary: £29,541-£30,424 per annum
(Subject to qualifications and experience)
Applications are invited for a three-year postdoctoral research fellow position available at CVSSP, starting on Monday, April 1, 2013, to work on a project entitled "Signal Processing Solutions for a Networked Battlespace", funded by the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), as part of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) University Defence Research Centre (UDRC) Scheme in signal processing. This project will be undertaken by a unique consortium
of academic experts from Loughborough, Surrey, Strathclyde and Cardiff (LSSC) Universities together with six industrial project partners QinetiQ, Selex-Galileo, Thales, Texas Instruments, PrismTech and Steepest Ascent. The overall aim of the project is to
provide fundamental signal processing solutions to enable intelligent and robust processing of the very large amount of multi-sensor data acquired from various networked communications and weapons platforms, in order to retain military advantage and mitigate
smart adversaries who present multiple threats within an anarchic and extended operating area (battlespace). The research fellow will be expected to work in close collaboration with our academic and industrial partners together with members of the lead consortium
based at Edinburgh and Heriott Watt Universities.
The prospective research fellow will be expected to develop low-complexity robust algorithms for underdetermined, convolutive signal separation, broadband distributed beamforming. The work will be facilitated by low-rank and sparse representations, and
directed toward fast implementations. He/she will develop robust source separation algorithms in highly dense signal environments, with the presence of uncertainties, such as weak signals and the unknown number of targets.
Successful applicants will join the CVSSP, a leading research group in sensory (visual and auditory) data analysis and interpretation, and will work closely with Dr Wenwu Wang, Prof Josef Kittler and Dr Philip Jackson. CVSSP is one of the largest UK research
groups in machine vision and audition with more than 120 researchers, with core expertise in Signal Processing, Image and Video Processing, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Computer Graphics and Human Computer
Interaction. CVSSP forms part of the Department of Electronic Engineering, which received one of the highest ratings (joint second position across the UK) in the last research quality assessment, i.e. 2008 RAE, with 70% of its research classified as either
4* ("world-leading") or 3* ("internationally excellent").
Applicants should have a PhD degree or equivalent in electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, mathematical science, statistics, physics, or related disciplines. Applicants should be able to demonstrate excellent mathematical, analytical
and computer programming skills. Advantages will be given to the applicants who have experience in sparse representations, blind source separation, low-rank linear algebra, and/or machine learning.
