We have a new internship opening at MERL:

MM721: Depth sensing

MERL is looking for a well qualified individual to work on novel technologies for depth sensing. The ideal candidate will have background on computational imaging and/or compressive sensing. Hands-on hardware prototyping and programming experience is a plus. The work will involve both theoretical and practical development and will lead to several publications. The duration of the internship is expected to be 3-6 months. Position is available immediately and through summer 2014. Candidates at or beyond the middle of a Ph.D. program are encouraged to apply. Please include position ID in the subject of the e-mail.

The Structural Dynamics Research Group, part of the Department of Civil Engineering in City University London, has a new opening related to compressive sensing. Specifically, the group is seeking to appoint an outstanding Research Fellow in the field of signal processing/compressive sensing as part of a research grant by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) on “Compressive Sensing for Wireless Vibration-Based Structural Health Monitoring of Civil Engineering Structures”. The appointment is fixed for one year and is available from 1st September 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter.

This is an exciting project and a collaboration I am looking forward to be part of. You can find more information (and apply) by following this link.

We have a new opening for a member of the research staff at MERL with emphasis in compressive sensing. MERL is a stimulating place to work with very talented staff and great research output. One of the few industrial research labs still encouraging fundamental research, engagement with the academic community and publication of our results. We are looking for very talented individuals who can contribute to that environment. The posting for our position follows and you can also find it on MERL’s website:
