Please note this post is 18.5 hours (0.5 FTE) until 29th February 2020, 9.25 hours (0.25 FTE) until 31st January 2021.

We seek to employ two highly motivated research assistants that will be working on the EU-H2020 project “ CORe monitoring Techniques and EXperimental validation and demonstration (CORTEX)". The project will give the opportunity to the post holder to engage with other partners of the project across Europe. You should hold a good honours degree, and should be able to demonstrate a track record in at least one of the following research fields:

- Machine Learning

- Deep Learning

- Signal Processing Applications

- Pattern Analysis

Once in post, you will be working with Professor Stefanos Kollias and Dr Georgios Leontidis on the aforementioned research topics. It is also expected to have a direct collaboration with other partners of the project. The successful candidate will be a member of the Machine Learning research group (Mlearn). The Mlearn is a rapidly expanding group, part of the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln and specialises in the development of machine learning, neural networks, deep learning techniques, decision-making systems, signal processing and big data and various application fields ranging from healthcare to financial applications. We provide a highly-dynamic inter-disciplinary research environment with a broad range of collaboration opportunities. In this project, you will have access to various sources and knowledge within the University, as well as provided by other partners of the project. 

The University of Lincoln is a forward-thinking, ambitious institution and you will be working in the heart of a thriving, beautiful, safe and friendly city. The School provides a stimulating environment for academic research, and is located on the picturesque waterfront campus in the historic and vibrant city of Lincoln. The University has just announced a £130M investment programme, a significant part of which is being invested in new, purpose-built facilities for the School of Computer Science. Lincoln itself is a small but fast growing city in the east-midlands. It offers a fantastic life quality given by moderate living costs, a medieval city centre including a famous cathedral and a beautiful ancient canal system that is still in use by many house boats nowadays. 

If you would like to know more about this opportunity, please contact Professor Stefanos Kollias (Founding Professor of Machine Learning, (skollias@lincoln.ac.uk) , or Dr Georgios Leontidis (Senior Lecturer in Computer Science, (gleontidis@lincoln.ac.uk).
