Senior Researcher in Healthcare Efficiency through Infrastructure-Free Indoor Localisation
Fixed-term for up to 1 year
Grade 8: Salary £39,992 – £47,722 p.a.
We are pleased to announce an opening for a Senior Researcher in Healthcare Efficiency through Infrastructure-Free Indoor Localisation. Working in the Cyber Physical Systems Group, and reporting to Professor Niki Trigoni, the aim of this project is to develop and test simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) techniques that use multiple trajectories to build an “experience map” of available routes, building a floorplan in use cases where a detailed floorplan is unavailable.
The project is part of a broader InnovateUK grant, awarded to the University of Oxford and Navenio, a spinout on indoor positioning. You will be conducting original research in collaboration with Navenio researchers, who will help provide test and validation data from real hospital settings.
You will hold a PhD/DPhil, together with post-qualification research experience in mobile robotics, indoor positioning (or related fields). You will have experience in developing and testing robust Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping algorithms for large scale problems, a strong publication record and familiarity with the existing literature and research in the field of simultaneous localisation and mapping, and programming experience in C++ and Python / Matlab. Experience of organising data collection tasks and presenting results to large teams is highly desirable.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 31 August 2018.
