The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has funded this research programme to develop a computer design tool that highlights potential patent infringement of an emerging design and prompts novel design solutions, which is of considerable interest to industry. The project is supported by two major international companies, Crown Technology and Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs.
The projected started on 1 February 2016 with the Research Fellow (Design Engineering for Innovation) developing functional and semantic representations of inventive principles in mechanical devices relevant to our industrial partners. We are now seeking a post-doctoral computer scientist to join the team in developing a design tool that compares CAD design models and patent images annotated with text, symbols and functional representations in relation to a specific ontology developed for the application.
You will have extensive experience of User Interface Design. Consequently, applicants must also possess significant skills in a standard programming language such as Java, Python or C++. Familiarity with XML is desirable.
You must have a PhD in an area pertinent to the research subject, e.g. Computer Science or a discipline relevant to the project, and a first degree (or equivalent experience and/or qualifications) in a related subject.
You should have a demonstrable strong publication track record. You will also have excellent communication and presentation skills, as they are fundamental to the success of this project. You will also have the ability to work to project deadlines.
The post holder will work closely with the Research Fellow (Design Engineering for Innovation) and the project supervisory team comprising Dr Mark Atherton (Design Engineering), Dr Alessio Malizia (Computer Science) and Professor David Harrison (Theme Leader of Design for Sustainable Manufacture).
Closing date for receipt of applications: 16 October 2016.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Mark Atherton. [log in to unmask] Please note that applications sent directly to this Email address will not be accepted.
