University of Bath

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath seeks a
Professor of Visual Computing. The successful candidate will be an
internationally leading academic who will contribute to leading and
enhancing the Department. The Department is structured in four
groups: Visual Computing, Human-Computer Interaction, Intelligent
Systems and Mathematical Foundations.
Currently including seven academic staff and associated researchers, the
Visual Computing group has broad interests bound together by the
contemporary movement of vision and graphics convergence. Research
includes body and face tracking, motion capture, acquisition of natural
phenomena and buildings, 3D geometry, 2D shape, and object recognition.
The group regularly publishes in leading conferences and journals. It
currently holds over £12M in research funding, including the new EPSRC
Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and
Applications (CAMERA). In addition, the group hosts the £20M Centre for
Digital Entertainment (CDE), in which research students are
co-supervised by world-leading industrial researchers.
Partners include The Imaginarium, The Foundry, the BBC, Double Negative,
and many others. The group enjoys collaborations with academics
including Cardiff, Loughborough, UCL, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and KAUST. The
group also contributes to the international community through its work
on steering committees, editing journals and other activities.
This opportunity arises following the retirement of Professor Phil
Willis, Director of the CDE. The successful candidate may assume the
Directorship of the CDE, subject to negotiation with the University and
EPSRC. The successful candidate will also be expected to conduct
excellent research, with the ability and desire to collaborate
effectively and productively with colleagues across the University and
beyond.
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to engage with our
existing research activities. The post holder will also be expected to
take the lead in developing his or her own research funding portfolio
from appropriate national and international sources, and to carry out
and supervise research in line with the Department’s strategy and targets.
The post holder will be expected to contribute to teaching at
undergraduate and postgraduate levels and should be able to demonstrate
a continuing commitment to maintaining the University’s high standards
in teaching and learning, with the ability to educate and inspire some
of the brightest students in the country.
The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the leadership
and management of the Department and group.
The Department and University are committed to providing a supportive
and inclusive working environment. We are working to improve the gender
balance within the Department and particularly welcome applications from
women.
Interviews will be held as soon as possible after the closing date for
applications.
