Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a research interest in crime data analytics? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities?

You will work on a research project funded by the N8 Policing Research Partnership (N8 PRP) led by Professor Graham Farrell with Dr Dan Birks (both School of Law) and Dr Nick Malleson (School of Geography), in collaboration with a consortium of eight police forces with West Yorkshire Police as the lead. 

Police forces collect extremely large volumes of data from their Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems. These are placed strategically to identify vehicles that are associated with crime in some way. Although these systems have been collecting substantial amounts of information about the movements of vehicles, there has been very little work looking at their efficacy beyond assisting with criminal investigations, nor how forces might make the best use of this complex data set. The successful candidate for this role will have responsibility for key aspects of data analysis and data collection and will assist in the data analysis, writing of interim and final reports and the dissemination of the findings. 

With a Master’s level degree in computing, data science or equivalent relevant experience, you will possess excellent research, analytical and writing skills and the ability to deal with a variety of tasks to set deadlines. The ability to work alone, as part of a team and with a range of people is essential, along with strong organisational skills. You may be required to undertake background checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

The University of Leeds is a diverse, multi-cultural environment. We welcome applications from all sections of society and the successful applicant will be expected to work within University values and policies which are designed to promote dignity, diversity and inclusiveness.

As part of your application, please could you submit copies of your two strongest publications? These should represent your best work in terms of originality, significance and rigour and both should be published since January 2014. One could be a draft that has been submitted or is close to submission.

Faculty of Science

The Institute of Coding

The Institute of Coding (IoC) is a new national initiative, led by the University of Bath, which brings together a range of universities, industry, training providers and professional bodies to address the UK’s digital skills gaps.

The Institute’s vision is to enhance the education and employability of every IoC learner, and ensure that employers and individuals across the UK can access the skills they need to compete in the global digital economy. This unique and innovative collaboration has been made possible with £20m from the Higher Education Funding Council for England and match funding from universities and industry partners.

The Institute of Coding will develop and deliver innovative, industry-focused higher education across the UK. It will develop industry accredited degree schemes and short courses aimed at professionals, as well as working to widen the participation of women, returners to work and hard to reach groups. Digital skills are becoming important in a range of professions so we also aim to target these groups.

The role

We need an enthusiastic Research Fellow to establish, develop and deliver a Digital Skills Observatory for the Institute of Coding. The primary focus will be on labour market analysis (including employer surveys and opinion-gathering), but the researcher will also contribute to the internal evaluation of the Institute of Coding.

The Digital Skills Observatory will be formed to work with employers and other stakeholders to identify and anticipate skills gaps through mapping current needs; build up an evidence base of research, analysis and intelligence; create an inclusive digital community including a national network of SMEs and start-ups; and provide leadership and policy direction.

The postholder will work with our consortium partners to measure the impact of work undertaken in each work package. Measurements undertaken will be both qualitative (e.g. awareness of digital industry employment opportunities, interest in IoC courses/digital skills employment within targeted groups, employer satisfaction) and quantitative (industry partnerships between both full and associate IoC members, take up of IoC courses by non-IT professionals and previously excluded groups, IT employment gains amongst targeted groups).

You will be expected to be experienced in manipulating large government data sets, including HESA employment data, and carrying out qualitative and quantitative surveys, as you will be surveying companies in our consortium and beyond. You will be interested in employability, employment and digital skills education.

This is a fixed-term role until March 2021.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor James Davenport, Department of Computer Science (J.H.Davenport@bath.ac.uk or +44 (0)1225 386181).

Signal Processing & Control Group

Project Reference: ISVR-SPCG-373

Non-destructive testing is a key technology in many defense research projects. It is used in most ordnance testing facilities and plays a key role in ensuring the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of a country’s nuclear program. X-ray based inspection techniques are becoming increasingly important in this field, especially x-ray tomographic systems, that allow us to non-destructively inspect internal structures and faults in objects.

This PhD project will look at x-ray imaging applications where an object is made up of different materials and where these different materials vary widely in their x-ray absorption properties. In this setting, parts of the object will often be opaque to x-ray transmission whilst other parts do not offer significant x-ray contrast, which means that standard tomographic techniques will not be applicable.
You will address this challenge by developing advanced tomographic data analysis tools that will combine knowledge of an object’s shape with x-ray tomographic measurements. This project will be largely computational, requiring you to develop new tomographic reconstruction algorithms and to implement these to run on the latest graphical processing units for efficient computation. You will also have the opportunity to collect x-ray data in one of our industrial x-ray scanners and to use this data to evaluate the performance of your new methods.

You will join a team of PhD students and Postdoctoral Researchers that work on a range of issues in x-ray tomographic reconstruction. You will have access to the University of Southampton’s world leading x-ray imaging centre and supercomputing facilities. It is anticipated that you will spend part of your second and third year with our partner institution in Lyon, France.

This project is funded by the joint PhD program of the UK’s Defense Science and Technology Laboratory and the French Direction Générale de l’Armement and is in collaboration with the UK’s Atomic Weapon Establishment (AWE). This work is also linked to a large UK research council funded project that will use similar techniques for the inspection of components in the aerospace industry.

Due to restrictions by the funding body, this position is only open to UK and French nationals.

If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Thomas Blumensath, Signal Processing and Control research group, Email: thomas.blumensath@soton.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0) 2380 59 3224.
