1. Signal, Image and Video Processing (69558): (filled)
The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering at the University of Florida (UF) invites applications for a full-time, nine-month tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), or the Department of Computer & Information Sciences & Engineering (CISE), or Engineering School for Sustainable Infrastructure and the Environment (ESSIE). Candidates are sought whose research focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Signal, Image, and/or Video (SIV) processing and who are interested in collaborative research with the Center for Coastal Solutions (CCS), housed within the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. The CCS (https://ccs.eng.ufl.edu/) is developing new approaches to monitor and model the risks and impacts of coastal hazards, including but not limited to flooding, sea level rise, harmful algae blooms, invasive species, and pathogen outbreaks. LiDAR, FLIR, multi- and hyper-spectral images, multi-channel underwater acoustic data, and underwater fluorescence and Raman scattering signals are a few examples of data modalities of interest to the CCS. Engineers and scientists interested in multi-modal, multi-spatiotemporal-scale signal, image, and/or video analyses will find a wealth of opportunity for supportive and multi-disciplinary collaboration in this position.
2. Graph Technology (69395): (filled)
The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering (HWCOE) at the University of Florida (UF) invites applications for a full-time, nine-month tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer & Information Sciences & Engineering (CISE), or the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, or the Engineering School for Sustainable Infrastructure and the Environment (ESSIE). Candidates are sought whose research area is the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for graphs and graph-based data and who are interested in collaborative, interdisciplinary research with the Center for Coastal Solutions (CCS), housed within the HWCOE. The CCS (https://ccs.eng.ufl.edu/) is advancing monitoring platforms and Earth Systems models to better predict the risks and impacts of coastal hazards, including but not limited to flooding, sea level rise, harmful algae blooms, invasive species, and pathogen outbreaks. Research on graphs for representing abstract manifolds and geo-spatiotemporal sensor webs of heterogeneous agents, such as citizen scientists, autonomous sea-borne sensors, socio-economic and public health databases, and satellite imagery would complement the mission of the CCS. Applicants working in this space would find a wealth of opportunity in this position.
3. Reinforcement Learning (69390): https://apply.interfolio.com/83273 (deadline June 15, 2021)
The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering (HWCOE) at the University of Florida (UF) invites applications for a full-time, nine-month tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE). Candidates are sought whose research focus includes reinforcement learning in general, and especially those who are interested in collaborative research with the Center for Coastal Solutions (CCS), housed within the HWCOE. MAE is focused on pioneering artificial learning approaches that enable fine scale analysis of dynamic matter to provide breakthrough understanding in the flow of fluids, failure of materials, energy transport, control of autonomous dynamic systems, and the building blocks of biology, disease, and life. The CCS (https://ccs.eng.ufl.edu/) is advancing monitoring platforms and Earth Systems models that track and predict the risks and impacts of coastal hazards, including but not limited to flooding, sea level rise, harmful algae blooms, invasive species, and pathogen outbreaks. Fundamental research and development in reinforcement learning would complement growth areas within MAE and the mission of the CCS. Applicants working in this space would find a wealth of collaborative opportunities in this position.
4. Underwater Robotics (69419): (filled)
The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering (HWCOE) at the University of Florida (UF) invites applications for a full-time, nine-month tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) (https://mae.ufl.edu/). MAE is dedicated to robotics and autonomous systems as a core focus and candidates are sought whose research is focused on underwater robotics. UF has close proximity to two different coastal regions (the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic seaboard) and numerous natural springs and rivers to facilitate underwater robotics research, in addition to various pools and instrumented indoor aquatic facilities on campus. Unique collaborative opportunities exist with the Center for Coastal Solutions (CCS), housed within the HWCOE. The CCS (https://ccs.eng.ufl.edu/) is developing new approaches to monitor and model the risks and impacts of coastal hazards, including but not limited to flooding, sea level rise, harmful algae blooms, invasive species, and pathogen outbreaks. Fundamental research and development in underwater robotics would complement growth areas within MAE and the mission of the CCS.
