Course type

The English subject at Ulster University forms part of the School of English and History in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. It is a vibrant and diverse centre for the study of English literature and culture and hosts an active and thriving body of postgraduate researchers. Individual scholars within the department are engaged in an extensive range of research fields which maintain and enhance the broader scholarly practice of English Studies across the globe, from Early Modern, Eighteenth Century and Victorian literature and culture, through to Modern, Contemporary, and Creative Writing, as well as Critical Theory. Several of the researchers working in these areas also distinctively contribute to a significant focus on the study of Irish Literature, which is also strongly and widely represented in the department’s teaching practice.

Postgraduate research facilities in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences have recently been upgraded to include a dedicated and shared postgraduate office suite on the Coleraine campus. The Library in Coleraine has also undergone recent refurbishment to include extensive computing facilities, as well as a range of specific study areas. In addition, the library has valuable holdings relating to book history, as well as archival resources pertinent to Celtic Studies, Irish and local writing.

PhD graduates are recognised by employers to hold valuable transferrable skills, as the nature of the degree trains candidates in creativity, critical inquiry, problem solving, negotiation skills, professionalism and confidence. The most recent Ulster survey of PhD graduates found that 92% had secured employment within the first year since graduation (HESA Destination of Leavers Survey 2015), and while two thirds end up in the Higher Education or Research sectors, the range of skills acquired equips the remainder for employment in a wide range of contexts.

PhD Study: Deep-Learning,  Ulster University, UK

Postdoctoral Position in UK United Kingdom

PhD Study: Deep-Learning: The University offers a funded PhD opportunity in the field of Computing, Engineering, and the Built Environment. The project focuses on advancing deep learning methods, particularly Transformer Networks with attention mechanisms, to improve abnormal change detection in various application scenarios such as Earth Observation and anomaly detection in electromagnetic satellite signals.

  • 🧠 Importance: Deep learning is crucial in machine learning, influencing daily life applications like computer vision, autonomous driving, and earth observation.
  • 🔄 Data-Driven Nature: Deep learning is often data-driven, minimizing the use of domain knowledge in training neural network models.
  • 🛑 Challenges: Traditional deep learning paradigms face challenges in convergence and generalization, especially in machine translation.
  • 🌐 Contextual Discrimination: Transformer Networks use attention mechanisms to discern representative data parts based on contextual information, improving model convergence.
  • 🎯 Techniques: Dot-product attention and multi-head attention are common techniques, enhancing the network’s focus on essential data components.
  • 🔍 Attention Mechanism Development: The project aims to study existing attention techniques and develop new ones for transformer network models.
  • (1) 📸 Image Change Detection: Inspired by human visual attention for abnormal change detection in images.
  • (2) 📡 Satellite Signal Anomaly Detection: Focused on contextual characteristics to identify relevant signal portions.
  • 🌐 Applicability: The developed transformer networks can find use in monitoring Earth Observation changes, detecting faults in manufacturing processes, and healthcare for human health deterioration.

Essential Criteria:

  • First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree required.
  • Equivalent qualifications, including a Lower Second Class Honours Degree plus a Master’s Degree, may be considered.
  • Professional experience may substitute academic qualifications in exceptional cases.

  • Additional funding for pre-settled/settled EU status and three years’ residency for ROI nationals.

Recommended Reading:

  • List of recommended readings, showcasing the significance of anomaly detection and sequential data analysis in the proposed research area.

Designation: PhD Researcher

Research Area: Development of Change Transformer—Attentive Deep-Learning Approaches for Abnormal Change Detection

Location: Computing, Engineering, and the Built Environment, University (Location not specified)

Eligibility/Qualification:

  • First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a relevant subject.
