You will join the UKRI/AHRC-funded BRAID P3R project, working within the CoSTAR National Lab as part of a collaboration between the University of Surrey and Royal Holloway, University of London. The project will develop new technical approaches that enable performers, creators and rights holders to express and protect rights over their work and likeness as live performances are captured, transformed and distributed across digital platforms.

The research will build on Surrey’s world-leading work in content authenticity and media provenance. You will develop new Computer Vision, AI and multimedia technologies for identifying and representing rights associated with performers and creative works across images, video and audio. A particular focus will be the development of provenance-based licensing infrastructure that can associate rights and permissions with media and with the performers represented within it. This will include exploring techniques for determining the presence and likeness of performers within visual media, for example using biometric and privacy-preserving representations, and connecting these signals to provenance and licensing information using standards such as C2PA (Content Credentials).

A further strand of the project will explore audio watermarking for live performance, including robust watermarking of live audio streams and its integration with provenance and licensing frameworks. The research will contribute towards a technical framework and APIs that external companies can integrate with to prototype new services for rights-aware capture, distribution and reuse of live performance content.

You will join the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) at the University of Surrey, a world-leading research centre in Computer Vision, AI and multimedia. Our team has a strong international track record in content provenance and authenticity research spanning computer vision, watermarking, machine learning, privacy-preserving technologies and open standards. We have contributed extensively to the development of the C2PA Content Credentials standard and worked closely with industry to translate provenance research into technologies used in real-world products and services.

The project is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary. You will work with researchers at Surrey and Royal Holloway, the wider CoSTAR National Lab community, and industry partners who will help integrate and evaluate technologies developed through the project. The role provides an opportunity both to publish fundamental research in leading international venues and to translate that research into demonstrators, APIs and prototype systems with external partners.

The position will be based at the University of Surrey in Guildford, UK. The post is available for an immediate start and is for a duration of 12 months. Remote working is available with the expectation of at least 50% time spent in the office.

For informal enquiries, please contact Professor John Collomosse at j.collomosse@surrey.ac.uk.

Our School of Veterinary Medicine follows an innovative distributed teaching model. It aims to inspire and educate veterinary professionals who will advance veterinary medicine to meet the needs of a changing world. We embrace the traditional values of professionalism, scientific curiosity, and clinical excellence, while developing graduates with broad horizons. Our research aims to advance knowledge in all aspects of veterinary medicine and education. 

The role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced veterinary surgeon (MRCVS) with a passion for inspiring undergraduate students in all aspects of small animal practice but especially surgical skills.  This is a part-time position that could suit those wishing to work with students whilst maintaining a clinical role.

The primary focus of the role will involve supervising students at the off-site neutering clinics, in conjunction with other veterinary surgeons and an RVN. The neutering clinics are stand-alone clinics run in conjunction with our partners, and provide invaluable experience for 4th year students, enabling them to enter final year rotations and general practice with confidence in routine surgery. The role will also support clinical teaching across the curriculum, preparing our students for their final year rotations.

The successful candidate should be confident in procedures in elective surgical neutering and have a good knowledge of veterinary anaesthesia in cats and dogs. Candidates will have enthusiasm for sharing their clinical experience and knowledge, giving students the confidence to perform surgical procedures and manage surgical cases. A teaching qualification is not essential but prior experience of teaching veterinary undergraduates would be an advantage. Those with extensive experience of supporting new graduates are also encouraged to apply. 

Enthusiasm and a willingness to work flexibly and to adapt to teaching creatively in a range of different contexts are essential, alongside excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills.  

This 0.5FTE post is 2.5 days a week and specifically requires availability on a Tuesday and Wednesday in term time. The other time can be agreed. 

About you

All candidates must hold a veterinary degree and be registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS). Candidates will have demonstrable clinical experience and practical competencies in small animal practice. 

How to Apply

Please apply by uploading a CV and a cover letter evidencing your suitability against the essential criteria required for this role as outlined in the person specification. You will also be asked some brief questions to help us understand your suitability for the position.

For informal enquiries please contact Rebecca Lewis via rebecca.lewis@surrey.ac.uk.
