Part-time Research Assistant in the HKU Musketeers Foundation Institute of Data Science (Ref. 537500)

We are searching for talented computer programmers to serve as part-time research assistants (RAs). The RAs will help us to improve an existing Python code base for creating 3D models of ancient artifacts from large datasets of 2D images. The main qualifications are prior experience working on large coding projects and an ability to independently complete tasks efficiently.

An interest in computer graphics and vision is also helpful. This project works on scans of archaeological artifacts, ancient objects used by past humans, so an interest in the past is also helpful. These positions are open to anyone, both students at any level or those who have already graduated.

The University only accepts online application for the above posts. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date CV and a cover letter. Review of applications commences as soon as applications are received and continues until the positions are filled.
