CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Deep-learning to Detect Anomalous Behaviour in Fisheries 

The Opportunity
  • Do you have an interest in machine learning and marine or fisheries science?
  • Work with World-leading scientists to search for rare and anomalous events
  • Join CSIRO - Australia's premier science and technology research organisation 

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience.  These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

In this position you will undertake research in deep learning-based video analysis for detecting rare and anomalous events and behaviours in fisheries. As the successful candidate you will contribute to developing detection and identification algorithms based on a range of data including, on-board video of fishing operations, and vessel transponder data, with the goal of implementing the software in an operational capacity.

Your duties will include:
  • Developing general methods to automate the analysis of imagery and video, addressing problems of lack of labelled data, and developing models to detect anomalous events and behaviour in large-scale datasets. 
  • Implementing these methods efficiently using programing tools such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.
  • Carrying out evaluation of the developed software.
  • Interpret and present research findings in computer vision and machine learning to research scientists and practitioners from a wide range of other scientific areas.

Location:  Hobart TAS
Salary:  AU$86k – AU$94k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure:  Specified term of 3 years
Reference:  67869

To be considered you will need:
  • A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in Platform-relevant discipline area, such as computer vision, machine learning, artificial intelligence or computer science. Please note: To be eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (or part-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience.
  • A history of professional and respectful behaviours and attitudes in a collaborative environment.
  • Solid knowledge of computer vision and machine learning, and the ability to understand and develop mathematically-founded algorithms and their development in toolkits such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Demonstrated experience in conducting research and development activities in image and video analysis, computer vision, more specifically in the area of machine learning based image/video analysis for object detection, classification and tracking.
