The Visual Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Oxford Brookes University, led by Professor Fabio Cuzzolin, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in AI for the Operating Room of the Future, to be appointed as soon as possible after October 1st 2021, full-time, until December 31 2022.
The deadline for application is January 3rd 2022. Salary: £32,817 rising annually to £35,845. The Postdoc will lead the Lab’s efforts in the context of a new EPSRC Transformative Healthcare Technologies project entitled “MAESTRO Jr - Multi-sensing AI Environment for Surgical Task & Role Optimisation”, and led by Dr George Mylonas of Imperial College London. The project’s overarching objective is to take radical steps towards the development of an AI-centred operating room of the 2050s. It envisages a smart operating room environment (which we term MAESTRO, in analogy with the way an orchestra conductor, a 'maestro', oversees, overhears and directs a group of people on a common task) powered by trustable, human-understanding artificial intelligence, able to continually adapt and learn the best way to optimise safety, efficacy, teamwork, economy, and clinical outcomes. In particular the Postdoc will lead the work on multi-sensing situation awareness, event detection and automated checklisting, detection of cognitive overload in surgical staff, and continual learning for perception and decision making. The Visual Artificial Intelligence Laboratory http://cms.brookes.ac.uk/staff/FabioCuzzolin/ is a fast-growing research unit currently running on a budget of £3 million from nine live projects funded by the EU (2), Innovate UK (2), Leverhulme, Huawei, the British Council and others. We are leaders in the field of deep learning for action and event detection, but our research interests span artificial intelligence, uncertainty theory, machine learning, computer vision, autonomous driving, surgical and mobile robotics, AI for healthcare. The Lab is currently pioneering frontier topics in AI such as machine theory of mind, self-supervised learning, continual learning and future event prediction. The Laboratory is part of the University’s new Institute for Ethical AI and is in the process of launching a new start-up to develop the world’s first AI-powered coaching app for competitive sports. You will join a vibrant and fast growing team foreseen to comprise 35+ people in 2022. You will support Prof Cuzzolin in the overall management of the project. You will be working on a network of cutting edge 4-GPU and 8-GPU workstations, mentor PhD and MSc students and seek additional external funding to complement the Lab’s existing activities. You are encouraged to contact Prof Cuzzolin at [email protected] for more information and an informal feedback on your application.
