Description
Postdoctoral Fellow - Augmented Reality for Decision Support
Are you a highly motivated PhD graduate?
Do you have a passion for developing novel
interactive Augmented Reality (AR) applications?
A great opportunity to collaborate across
disciplines and create productivity tools that have substantial industrial
impacts
Future Science
Platforms (FSPs) are a major new CSIRO initiative. FSPs are multi-year
investments in frontier science that will reinvent and create new industries
for Australia.
Digiscape is the
FSP that is creating next-generation decision tools to transform the
agriculture and land management sector. To achieve this aim, Digiscape is
bringing to bear cutting edge climate science; new sources of locally and
remotely sensed data; informatics for agro-ecosystems; rigorous analysis of
uncertainties; and innovation in both the ICT and social dimensions of systems
integration. The successful candidate will join a cohort of early-career
researchers and engineers who will combine their individual disciplinary
contributions into mission-focussed R&D.
Part of the
Digiscape vision is that Augmented Reality technologies (such as Microsoft
HoloLens) will play a key role in supporting individual and team decision
making, both in the field and in the office. In the aquaculture domain these
tools will assist operators on the ground and/or in the office to visualise
pond conditions and access short-term pond predictions across multiple ponds.
They will be a primary method for accessing the data management and modelling
frameworks developed in related projects.
Your success in
this role will be underpinned by your record of science innovation and
creativity, plus your ability and willingness to incorporate novel ideas and
approaches into scientific investigations. The successful applicant will implement
and evaluate prototype systems, while making use of the Advanced Augmented
Reality and Virtual Reality (VR) facilities in the Data61 Immersive
Environments Lab in Canberra.
To be considered
you will have (or expect to imminently complete) a PhD in Computer Science,
Engineering or a directly related field. You will have experience conducting
research in interactive 3D graphics and/or computer vision in Virtual Reality, Augmented
Reality and/or Web3D. You will also have the ability to work effectively as
part of a multi-disciplinary, regionally dispersed research team and carry out
tasks autonomously.
