About the project / position:

The successful candidate will work in the area of AI-based underwater image analysis and marine species detection. Marine biodiversity monitoring currently relies on large volumes of underwater video footage that must be manually analysed, a process that is time-consuming and prone to variability. Advances in artificial intelligence and computer vision provide the opportunity to automate species detection and classification, significantly improving efficiency and consistency in marine ecological assessments. In this role, the successful candidate will develop, train, and validate deep learning models for automated detection and classification of marine species from underwater imagery and video datasets. The position is part of the EU-funded ATLANTIS project (I3–ERDF), developing underwater technologies for marine monitoring and sustainable blue-economy applications.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to conduct fundamental and/or applied research in the aforementioned areas. Where applicable, candidates may also participate in the preparation of project reports and deliverables, research proposals for funding, software development, and travel abroad for dissemination activities. Furthermore, successful candidates will be encouraged to publish/present their research results in prestigious international conferences and journals.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Perform data curation, preprocessing, and quality control of underwater imagery and video datasets, in collaboration with marine experts
  2. Design, train, and evaluate deep learning models for automated detection and classification of marine species
  3. Develop computer vision pipelines for video processing and model inference
  4. Evaluate model performance using quantitative metrics
  5. Contribute to the integration of AI-based detection models into operational biodiversity monitoring workflows and data analysis pipelines
  6. Collaborate with project partners and contribute to the preparation of deliverables, technical reports, and dissemination materials
  7. Contribute to other activities of the research group and the Centre
