        Subject: Postdoc recruitment - Eycon project (Early Conflict Photography and Visual AI)

Dear all,

The new Eycon project (Early Conflict Photography and Visual AI) is recruiting a
postdoc in computer vision, in the specific field of image analysis and pattern
recognition.

*** For details of the announcement, see:
https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/725873  ***

Description of the project:
Many institutions have digitised war photos, but the scattered nature of these
digitisations and the multiple standards of metadata make it very difficult for
end-users to visualise the interconnectedness of these visual records. Drawing
on advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, EyCon aims to increase
the discoverability and usability of overlooked and scattered material on
colonial, imperial and international armed conflicts up to 1918.

The Eycon project is a UK/ French project funded by an AHRC/ LABEX grant, and
additional funding from an Idex grant.
_French Co-I: Prof Daniel Foliard (University of Paris Diderot)
_French PI: Dr Julien Schuh (Paris Nanterre University)
_UK PI: Dr Lise Jaillant (Loughborough University)

The postdoc position will be for a period of 16 months within LARCA
(https://larca.u-paris.fr/en/home/) with a starting date in February or March
2022 depending on candidates' availability.

Candidates with a Master’s degree and relevant experience are welcome to send us
their application. Work can be done in part remotely.

The position will be co-supervised with researchers from LIPADE
(http://lipade.mi.parisdescartes.fr/?page_id=248&lang=fr).

Questions can be addressed to Karl Gosselet (sylvain-
karl.gosselet@cnrs.fr).

With best wishes,
