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 culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.  

The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated researcher to join an EPSRC-funded UKRI-Norway project on Energy Micropile Retrofits for Climate Change Adaptation of Existing Buildings. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to research at the interface of computational geotechnics, data-centric methods, sustainable infrastructure, low-carbon energy systems, and climate-change adaptation.

The project aims to develop and validate energy micropile retrofit solutions that can support the decarbonisation of existing buildings by combining structural foundation performance with renewable thermal energy exchange. Based within the University of Surrey's School of Engineering, the successful candidate will lead the project's computational modelling strand, developing complex numerical models and validating them against datasets generated by collaborators. The candidate will use surrogate modelling and data-centric approaches to complement simulations, incorporating uncertainty to evaluate system resilience, and developing useful tools that will enable industry to adopt energy micropiles as a dual structural–energy retrofit solution.
