Research Assistant/Associate in Efficient Machine Learning Systems for Earth Observation

4 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 May 2026 in the first instance.

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant or Research Associate to work on efficient machine-learning systems for earth observation. The post holder will be part of the Computer Architecture group under the guidance of Prof. Robert Mullins.

The role involves developing new low-power systems and algorithms to significantly enhance the capabilities of onboard AI when used within small satellites. The project is a collaborative effort involving teams at the University of Manchester and University of Southampton and partners at the Alan Turing Institute and HMGCC. The research will seek innovations at both the software and hardware level. The use of a novel memory system and recent advances in low-power machine-learning accelerators will create significant scope to explore new research directions. On-board processing tasks will include object detection, compression, interpretation and various image retrieval tasks. The "Perfect Recollection for Clearer Insight" project is funded by EPSRC.

Applicants should be prepared to collaborate with other project researchers to help develop complete hardware and software demonstrators. They will have excellent programming skills (e.g. in Python, C++, etc.).

Pre-employment screening The successful candidate will be required to undergo security checks, to be carried out by the National Security Technology Innovation Exchange (NSTIx) before the appointment is confirmed.

Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.

Informal enquiries can be made by contacting Robert Mullins at
