Postdoc Position on Machine Vision and AI for Harvest Automation of Specialty Crops
A postdoctoral research associate position is available in yuzhenlu.com’s group (AgFood Sensing & Intelligence) in the Department of Biosystems & Agricultural Engineering at Michigan State University (timeshighereducation.com, en.wikipedia.org, the first Land-Grant University and en.wikipedia.org member in the U.S., topuniversities.com globally). The selected candidate will work primarily on harvest automation for specialty crops. This position will be an initial 12-month opportunity with the possibility of an extension. It may start in December of 2024 or on a later agreed-upon starting date of 2025.
The successful candidate is expected to assist with leading efforts in leveraging advanced machine vision, and artificial intelligence (AI)/robotics technologies to develop automated, selective harvesting systems for specialty crops and to generate high-quality peer-reviewed publications. The postdoc will meet regularly with Dr. Lu to discuss best practices in design, experiments, prototyping, algorithm development and testing, manuscript preparation, and mentoring. The selected candidate may also engage in activities such as grant proposal development and class teaching assistance as needed for their professional development. Successful candidates need to be creative, self-motivated, adaptive, and dedicated, collaborate in multidisciplinary environments, and communicate research outcomes actively through journal publications and deliver presentations at conferences.
Minimum Requirements
Desired Qualifications
Application
Please refer to Posting #999733 on the MSU website: careers.msu.edu for formal application. Correspondences about the position may be sent to Dr. Yuzhen Lu at [email protected]. Review of applications will commence immediately and proceed until the position is filled. Video pre-interview meetings may be scheduled for potential candidates if necessary.
