Job description

Offer DescriptionThe candidate will participate in a public funded research project (METALIA – “Enabling
technologies for the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the
value chain of the Additive Manufacturing of new metal alloys”)
aiming at developing materials for various applications (space,
biomedical, aeronautic, etc.) by additive manufacturing (AM). This
PhD/Post-doc focuses on enhancing the capabilities of XCT (X-ray
Computed Tomography) technique by applying artificial intelligence to
the reconstruction of the volumes, noise reduction and defect
segmentation, classification and analysis.XCT is one of the most powerful techniques for defect assessments of
additive manufacturing materials as it comprises a high resolution for
the typical defect types in AM, a large volume of inspection which
allows detecting thousands of defects at once, provides
three-dimensional information of the inspected material and it is
non-destructive. Despite the advantages, XCT is a relatively slow, and
therefore costly, technique due to the large number of projections
(radiographs from different angle positions) required to provide a
high-quality volume reconstruction. Additionally, when measuring
materials with high X-ray absorption such as metals, noise and artifacts
are generated in the images. Common data limitations during XCT
experiments include: i) acquiring only a limited number of projections;
ii) noise in the projection images; and iii) acquiring projections for a
limited angular range. Thus, the main activity of the candidate within
the project will correspond to data analysis, and the development and
implementation of AI-based tools to enhance and accelerate XCT pre- and
post-processing. Solutions will be implemented in both, laboratory and
synchrotron XCT data.The candidate is expected to have a solid background in programming, artificial intelligence and data processing.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsSpecific RequirementsWe are looking for post-doctoral candidates with experience in AI applied to material science and/or XCT.Experience or knowledge in AI applied to XCT images or any other
image is highly valuable. Close interactions with industrial
stakeholders are expected; therefore, the ability to work as part of a
team is essential.Programming knowledge in any language, preferably Python for compatibility with already developed work.Knowledge of machine learning, data analysis, image and signal treatment.Full proficiency in English, oral and written, is mandatory.2.5 years contract with 1 year evaluation period.Interested candidates should submit their Curriculum Vitae, a brief
cover letter addressing their motivation, as well as academic
credentials.Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentResearch Field Engineering Years of Research Experience NoneAdditional InformationBenefitsApplications are processed upon reception. The position might be closed once ten working days have passed since publication, so we encourage early application.The working language of the Institute is English. Full command of the English language is required in all positions.
