Emploi : computer scientist

Titre de l'offre :	computer scientist for a period of 14 months
Date :	11/07/2007
Description de l'offre :	Seeking a computer scientist (preferably full time) for a period of 14 months to work on a research project devoted to the statistical analysis of partial fingerprints. The project is funded by the TSWG (US Dept. of Defense). The School of Criminal Sciences (ESC) and its Institute of forensic sciences of the University of Lausanne is seeking an experienced individual to join a team working on a project financed by the US Technical Support Working Group (www.tswg.gov). The project will last for a period of 14 months. The ESC has a research program on fingerprint statistics applied to forensic science since 1995. Following research already funded by TSWG (2003-2005), the ESC is currently working on a follow-up project aiming at exploring topological models for assessing fingerprint variability. You will join this research team. We are looking for an enthusiastic team player to join a group devoted to fingerprint statistics research. A full degree in computer science, image or signal processing is required. For this challenging and rewarding role, postgraduate experience of image processing or pattern recognition would be a real advantage, as would a relevant PhD. You will bring to the team expertise in the use and implementation of various image processing methods for fingerprint image analysis. The environment for development will be Matlab® and Flash® (Actionscript). In addition the candidate is expected to show ability to work independently and effectively within a team (with a forensic scientists and a statistician) and will need the ability to work to a highly structured schedule in order to meet demanding deadlines. Good communication skills (written and oral) and knowledge of English will be beneficial.

The salary for this position will be circa CHF 74’000 per year (full time) depending on relevant qualifications and experience. Closing date for receipt of written applications will be 20th July 2007.
Qualifications particulières :	You have a strong background in computer science, preferably with emphasis on image processing, feature extraction and possibly morphing / warping algorithms. You are willing to take the lead in developing algorithms to extract topological information from full and partial fingerprint images. You also have experience in designing graphical user interface.
