Research Fellow in 3D Scanning of Railways

At the University of Leeds, we are seeking a highly motivated and versatile Research Fellow to contribute to the development of novel 3D scanning technologies for railway track Switches and Crossings.

The successful candidate will be part of the XCROSS project, a pioneering initiative that aims to revolutionize railway maintenance through the application of cutting-edge technologies.

This role offers the opportunity to work with an international consortium comprising leading Universities, software companies, sensor companies, railway track owners, and rail industry bodies.

As a Research Fellow, you will be responsible for conducting novel research and international impact activities, including:

  • Identifying hardware and software requirements for in-situ 3D scanning of crossings
  • Performing laser scans at several railway sites in Europe
  • Developing 3D point cloud manipulation, artificial intelligence, and computer vision algorithms

Requirements for this role include a PhD (or submitted thesis before taking up the role) in a railway engineering-related discipline or an area related to 3D scanning or computer vision.

This position will be based at the University of Leeds campus, with flexibility to work in a hybrid manner. We welcome applicants who can bring fresh perspectives and ideas to our team.
