Nijmegen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black">Job description</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black">The FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network
"BBfor2" (Bayesian Biometrics for Forensics) provides an opportunity
for young researchers to study several biometric technologies in a forensic
context. The Network consists of 9 European research institutes and 3
associated partners. The Network will provide regular workshops and
Summer Schools, so that the 15 PhD students (Early Stage Researchers - ESRs)
and PostDocs (Experienced Researchers - ERs) and senior researchers can
exchange research experience, insights and ideas. The main areas of
research are Speaker Recognition, Face Recognition, Fingerprint Recognition,
but also combinations of these techniques are studied. The challenge of
applying biometric techniques in a forensic context is to be able to deal with
the uncontrolled quality of the evidence, and to provide calibrated likelihood
scores. The researchers in this Network will have the opportunity during
their assignment to stay for some period at another Network institute and to
get experience in an industrial or forensic laboratory.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black"><br>
The PostDoc in the Network will be responsible for the scientific cohesion in
the Network. He or she will work together with the PhD students in the
Network, translate research approaches across biometric modalities, while
overseeing the overall issues from biometric technology to forensic
application. There will be a strong emphasis on organisational and
reporting skills, stimulating, combining and extending research carried out in
the Network, resulting in scientific publications. The PostDoc will work in
close collaboration with the Scientific Co-ordinator of the Network.
Successful candidates have extensive experience in Machine Learning, Speech or
Image Processing, Forensic Sciences or related areas. Experience with
processing of large data sets and skills in programming and scripting are
important qualifications.</span></p>
