Careers @ MSU

Position Summary

We are seeking postdoctoral research applicants with expertise in face recognition and machine learning. The selected candidate will support our ongoing research under the IARPA BRIAR program. The goal of the project is to develop and deliver software algorithm-based systems capable of performing whole-body biometric identification at long-range and from elevated platforms. The software must have the ability to identify or recognize individuals under challenging scenarios, such as at long-range (e.g., 300+ meters), through atmospheric turbulence, or from elevated and/ or aerial sensor platforms (e.g., ≥20° sensor view angle from watchtowers or unmanned aerial vehicles). In addition, software systems must be capable of detecting and tracking individuals at these severe imaging conditions, extracting biometric signatures from the whole-body (e.g., gait and/or body shape) and face, and fusing biometric information for robust multi-modal matching.
