About This Opportunity?


More variable renewable energy-based generators (VREGs) are integrated into the electricity grid each year. However, VREGs produce oscillations (periodic energy exchange across system components), which cause grid instability and are a roadblock for the growth of renewable energy. Such oscillations result in reduced VREG production or commissioning delays, which place technical and financial pressure on renewable generators. This project will facilitate a researcher network, from the USA, the UK, India and industry partner Iberdrola Australia, developing innovative methods to identify oscillation sources based on the measurement from VREGs to accelerate the integration of renewables into the electricity grid, paving the way for Australia to reach net zero by 2050.



The aim of this project is to develop a network of outstanding researchers to fast-track innovative solutions to the critical challenge of network instability caused by power oscillation introduced through renewable energy integration into the electricity grid. The project aims to develop new methods to identify the sources of oscillations produced by variable renewable energy generators (VREGs), which will consequently facilitate effective solutions to address system instability caused by oscillations, thereby, reducing the technical and financial barriers to greater integration of renewable energy.

? Join a world-leading research hub developing intelligent robotic systems for inspection and asset management
? Develop novel imaging technologies to allow robots to see robustly and efficiently in a broad range of challenging conditions
? Full time, 3 year fixed term position, Level A, Base Salary $105K + 17% superannuation

About the opportunity

ARIAM Hub is a collaboration between leading academic researchers and experts from the Australian robotics industry supported by the Australian Research Council to deliver research excellence in robotics for asset management. ARIAM spans 3 renowned Australian universities: The University of Sydney, QUT and ANU. This position will be supervised by Dr Donald Dansereau, head of the Robotic Imaging Lab within the Australian Centre for Robotics (ACFR) at the University of Sydney. The ACFR is one of Australia’s leading robotics research groups, and the Robotic Imaging Lab is focused on endowing machines with new ways of seeing the world.

We are expanding our team and have multiple positions opening as part of ARIAM. We are currently seeking an ambitious and talented Postdoctoral Research Associate to undertake fundamental and applied research in novel computer vision approaches to high-fidelity drone-based 3D reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure.

Depending on ability and interest, candidate approaches can include combining representations and visual processing from the graphics and vision communities, including inverse rendering and novel visual and geometric representations, and novel computational imaging devices and algorithms. This project will offer dramatic improvements in sensing robustness and performance, and geometric and textural accuracy in drone-based 3D asset inspection.

In this role you will:

? work closely with a team of project academics, engineers, and PhD students
? develop and characterise novel robotic vision representations, algorithms and/or imaging technologies
? contribute to the ARIAM Hub’s demonstrator program that will showcase your research and that of other Hub projects
? contribute as a researcher to project report preparation, presentation at internal workshops, and dissemination at top international conferences and journals as well as via internal workshops and presentations.

About you

The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity. As such, we see the importance of recruiting talent aligned to these values. We are seeking an excellent candidate for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position who has:

? skills relevant to robotic imaging in visually challenging conditions, outstanding candidates with skills in robotics including navigation, planning, and active perception are also strongly encouraged to apply
? a PhD (or near completion) in a relevant field
? knowledge of computer vision technologies including approaches to visual 3D reconstruction
? knowledge of appearance-based scene representations including light fields and neurally regressed radiance fields would be an asset
? a desire to advance 3D reconstruction from drone-based imagery using novel scene representations, visual processing, and computational imaging techniques
? experience with one or more programming languages (C, C++, C#, Python, Matlab)
? proven ability to conduct high quality research, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
? an ability to coordinate multiple project objectives to meet established targets and deadlines
? excellent communication and interpersonal skills
? hands-on experience with robotic platforms, ROS, and/or deep learning frameworks (Tensorflow and others), and OpenCV would be an asset
? a history of research excellence evidenced by prizes or awards, relative to experience, would be an asset
