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.
