Research Fellow in 3D Scanning of Railways

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have experience related to 3D scanning, point cloud data processing or railways? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities? Do you want to be part of an EU funded international innovation programme with collaboration between partners across Europe?

We seek a motivated and versatile Research Fellow to help develop novel 3D scanning technologies for railway track Switches and Crossings. You will be working on the XCROSS project which aims to make a step-change in railway maintenance. As part of this, you will work with an international consortium comprising a range of leading Universities, software companies, sensor companies, railway track owners and rail industry bodies.

Working with Professor David Connolly, you will conduct novel research and international impact activities. This will include the identification of hardware and software requirements for the in-situ 3D scanning of crossings, and also performing laser scans at several railway sites in Europe. Using scan data, you will develop 3D point cloud manipulation, artificial intelligence, and computer vision algorithms to process 3D scanned crossing datasets. 

You will have a PhD (or submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in a railway engineering related discipline or an area related to 3D scanning or computer vision. 

This role will be based at the university of Leeds campus and there is scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
