CIAR Research Programmer/Analyst
UBC Department of Computer Science
(Recruiting Range - $26,400 - $33,000 per annum)
A Programmer/Analyst is required to support the research of the UBC Fellows
and Scholars of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIAR) program
in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR). Reporting directly to the
UBC Nodal Coordinator of the CIAR AIR Program, the incumbent will work with
the Laboratory for Computational Vision (LCV) System Manager to coordinate
the development and implementation of research software and related support
tools. Specific duties are negotiable but current requirements include:
1. Support for a calibrated imaging facility for research in early vision,
including shape from shading, motion and colour. The facility involves
optical bench setup, computer-controlled eye/head with associated camera
and video equipment, real-time image processing hardware, parallel
architectures and interfaces to symbolic programming environments.
2. Support for symbolic programming environments for research in model-based
vision and AI. The symbolic programming environment includes Common Lisp
(on Sun's and Symbolics Lisp machines), Lisp-embedded knowledge
representation languages, and Prolog (Quintus Prolog on Sun 3's and 4's).
The ideal candidate will both contribute specific expertise to and take
responsibility for the development of our research facilities. This will
require the ability to work well with faculty, staff and graduate students.
QUALIFICATIONS:
A B.Sc. in Computer Science, or equivalent, plus two years' experience in a
research environment (a Master's degree would be desirable). Expertise in
both Unix/C and Lisp is essential. Additional experience in one or more
of: optics, electronics, image processing hardware, parallel architectures
and Prolog would be desirable.
