Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

**Job Title:** Research Scientist in Multi-target Tracking and Bayesian Intent Prediction

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Scientist to join our team at the University of Cambridge. The successful candidate will work on developing novel algorithms for multi-target tracking and intent prediction for complex dynamically changing environments.

The post holder will be located in Central Cambridge, UK and will be responsible for developing and evaluating intent and anomaly detection algorithms for threat detection of sUAS using radar data. This will entail analysing relatively large amounts of recorded data and working closely with Aveillant/THALES and Dstl.

The key responsibilities and duties are:

  • Develop and evaluate intent and anomaly detection algorithms for threat detection of sUAS using radar data.
  • Analyse relatively large amounts of recorded data.
  • Work closely with Aveillant/THALES and Dstl.

The skills, qualifications and experience required to perform the role are:

  • A very good first degree in engineering, computer science or a closely related field.
  • A PhD degree in an area related to Signal Processing or Machine Learning.
  • Demonstrable research experience in the areas of tracking, intent prediction, Bayesian inference, radar and sensor data fusion.

The successful candidate should exhibit good oral and written communication skills and have experience both of working in a team and managing their own workload. Ability to effectively liaise with Dstl and WSRF industrial partners is highly desirable.

Appointment at Research Scientist level is dependent on having a PhD (or equivalent experience). Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at a lower level, which will be amended to Research Scientist once the PhD has been awarded.

The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
