A postdoctoral researcher position is available with the Graphics and Vision Discipline in the School of Computer Science and Statistics (SCSS), Trinity College Dublin (TCD) to work on a research project funded by Horizon Europe. The project, TransMIXR, is a collaborative EU project involving 20 partners from industry and academia with the goal of creating novel human-centric tools for remote content production and consumption via social virtual reality. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely in collaboration with colleagues in TCD and the multi-institutional project consortium, towards the completion of several Work Packages of the TransMIXR project. The postdoctoral researcher will be primarily responsible for research in AI and deep learning techniques for the SEMANTIC UNDERSTANDING OF VOLUMETRIC VIDEO. The objective of this work package is to allow better usage and integration of such content into XR experiences. The research will focus on achieving temporal consistency through geometry tracking and correspondence estimation, automated rigging and semantic 3D segmentation and understanding of 3D geometry in volumetric video. The developed algorithms will be applied in use cases and demonstrators. Application Procedure: Applicants should submit a full Curriculum Vitae to include the names and contact details of 2 referees (including email addresses), to: John Dingliana, John.Dingliana@tcd.ie

The School of Computer Science and Statistics is seeking to appoint an Assistant Professor in Statistics on a two year, fixed-term contract. The purpose of the post is to assist with the development and delivery of the Online HCI Postgraduate Certificate in Statistics and Data Science, to meet the needs of the identified stakeholders in the target learner cohort. The employment is not offered on an indefinite duration basis as this employment is for the purpose stated above. Applications are encouraged from candidates in the field of Statistics who have a genuine commitment to the role of teaching Statistics at undergraduate and postgraduate level across many disciplines in Mathematics, Science, Engineering and the Humanities. The successful applicant will have a primary degree and a Ph.D. in Statistics or another subject with a strong statistical component. The group particularly welcomes applicants who have experience and interest in working in an interdisciplinary setting that can exploit the Discipline's position within a School of Computer Science and Statistics.

We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on Machine Learning for Personalized Mobility as a Service, within CONNECT - the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Future Networks and Communications in collaboration with the E3 Kinsella SUMMIT (SUstainable MobIlity Models for a Just Transition) initiative. This project will investigate the development of a Mobility-as-a-Service platform to support the delivery of integrated and personalized mobility services at campus scale. The platform will support personalized on-demand travel with interfaces to transport providers, to support service delivery and provisioning, on one side and to individual users on the other side to offer journey planning and booking services. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to integrating and catalysing existing and new activity in this area into a larger initiative, including developing relationships with diverse stakeholders and preparing further research funding proposals. The position will be based in the CONNECT research centre at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The researcher will also be part of the School of Computer Science and Statistics in TCD. The position will be under the direction of Dr. Mélanie Bouroche. For informal inquiries please contact Melanie.Bouroche@tcd.ie. Candidates should submit a cover letter together with a full CV and contact details of 2 referees, via email to: Melanie.Bouroche@tcd.ie. The closing date for applications is December 16th 2022. Late applications will be considered if the post remains unfilled.

We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to investigate the use of deep reinforcement learning (RL) and swarm intelligence techniques to optimize travel-time reliability in the presence of autonomous and conventional vehicles within the ClearWay project funded by Science Foundation Ireland from 2022-2026. The successful candidate is expected to engage in co-supervision of ClearWay PhD students, co- supervision of related undergraduate and MSc dissertation projects, ClearWay industry collaborations, the organization of the ClearWay intelligent mobility hackatons and other public engagement activities, and contribute to preparation of Horizon Europe proposals. The position will be based in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland under the direction of Prof. Vinny Cahill and Prof. Ivana Dusparic. For informal inquiries please contact {vinny.cahill, ivana.dusparic}@tcd.ie. Application Procedure: Please send applications by email to vinny.cahill@tcd.ie and ivana.dusparic@tcd.ie quoting “ClearWay Fellowship” in the subject line and including a cover letter, curriculum vitae (giving full details of qualifications and experience, including transcripts of degrees, a description of your contribution to relevant project work, identification of your three most-significant publications relevant to the ClearWay project, and the names of two referees) and 1-2 page research proposal, in PDF format. The closing date for applications is December 16th 2022. Late applications will be considered if the post remains unfilled.

Ph.D. Studentships in Reinforcement Learning and Swarm Intelligence for Coordination of Autonomous Vehicles. Applications are invited for a number of funded four-year Ph.D. studentships investigating the use of deep reinforcement learning (RL) and Swarm Intelligence techniques to optimize travel-time reliability in the presence of autonomous and conventional vehicles within the ClearWay project funded by Science Foundation Ireland. The successful candidates will be supervised by Prof. Vinny Cahill and Prof. Ivana Dusparic. They will join the ClearWay team consisting of 4 PhD students and 2 postdoctoral researchers, as well as a wider team of ~10 PhD students working with Profs Cahill and Dusparic in the areas of RL and intelligent mobility.
