Sensor Scheduling Research Fellow

2 months ago


Birmingham, United Kingdom University of Birmingham Full time

Salary: Full time starting salary is normally in the range £34,980 to £44,263 with potential progression once in post to £46,974. Grade: 7

Hours: Part Time (26.25 working hours per week)

Contract Type: Fixed Term contract up to February 2025

Closes: 12th August 2024

Applications are invited for a Research Fellow in sensor scheduling. The role will involve developing signal processing algorithms for path planning and scheduling of a mobile sensing platform. The Research Fellow will be based in the Microwave Integrated Systems Lab (MISL) at the University of Birmingham and work as part of an international collaboration with researchers in Australia. 

The growth in low-cost sensors and autonomous platforms, result in a need to develop practical algorithms to schedule and plan the actions of such platforms based on sensory information. These algorithms need to cope with complex environments and scenarios that are characterised by multiple, possibly conflicting, tasks. This project seeks to develop a practical solution to the problem that allows long-term planning for an autonomous sensing platform. Our solution involves developing a that combination of long and short-term planning approaches. 

Role Summary

  • You will contribute to the development of a sensor scheduling algorithm for planning the path of a mobile sensing platform under multiple objectives.
  • You will investigate the performance of the above algorithm when considering long vs short term planning against computation time and how the performance of this algorithm can be characterised when faced with competing objectives.
  • Work within specified research grants and projects.
  • Operate within area of specialism.
  • Analyse and interpret research findings and results.

Main Duties

  • To develop, implement and evaluate a scheduling algorithm for sensor path planning.
  • To engage with project partners regarding the design and integration of the software implementation into the Stone Soup software framework.
  • To contribute to the dissemination of the project outcomes through reports to stakeholders and publications of research findings. 

The responsibilities may include some but not all of the responsibilities outlined below.

  • Analyse and interpret data.
  • Apply knowledge in a way which develops new intellectual understanding.
  • Disseminate research findings for publication, research seminars etc.
  • Undertake management/administration arising from research.
  • Present research outputs, including drafting academic publications or parts thereof, for example at seminars and as posters. 
  • Deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines.
  • Promotes equality and values diversity acting as a role model and fostering an inclusive working culture.

Person Specification

  • PhD (or one close to completion) in electronic engineering or related field.
  • The ideal candidate will have experience in signal processing algorithms.
  • Ability to programme in python is desirable. 
  • Experience working with sensor scheduling algorithms and/or stochastic planning algorithms are desirable. 
  • High level analytical capability.
