About Queens University of Charlotte

Basic information and contact details for Queens University of Charlotte

Queens University of Charlotte is based in North Carolina and is nestled in a suburban neighbourhood just a few minutes from uptown Charlotte. 

The university has roots dating back to 1857 when it was founded as the Charlotte Female Institute. It wasn’t until 1912 that the campus moved to its present location.

There are a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees within liberal arts and sciences as well as business, communication, nursing, health and education. The most popular degrees are Business and Marketing programmes, Communications and Journalism programmes and the Health Professions.

The courses operate within various colleges which include: College of Arts and Sciences, the McColl School of Business, the Wayland H. Cato, Jr. School of Education, the James L. Knight School of Communication, Hayworth College for Adult Studies and the Andrew Blair College of Health.

The university’s location in the city's thriving business centre creates ample opportunities for students to grow through various opportunities, such as internships, research opportunities and leisure time activities.

There are some 70 clubs and organisations on campus for students to enjoy which range from arts & culture, fraternity & sorority Life, recreational activities, media, and academics.

Moreover, throughout its history, Queens University has developed many different traditions on campus. The Boar's Head Banquet and Yule Log Ceremony, for example, is a medieval tradition, which consists of medieval songs, festivities and food in celebration of the Christmas season. Moreover, there is an Exam Break Breakfast where students can enjoy a late night breakfast, which is served by professors and staff members the night before exams begin.

Athletic teams at Queens University – known as the Queens Royals – participate as members of the NCAA's Division II programme as well as the South Atlantic Conference. Sports teams at the university include basketball, cheerleading, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and tennis. 

Notable alumni include David-Matthew Barnes, an American author, playwright, poet, and screenwriter, John Schwert, a renowned film and commercial director and producer, and Betsy Cromer Byars, an American author of children's books who won the 1971 Newbery Medal.

We are an equal opportunity employer and offer an attractive and diverse workplace in an inspiring environment with a variety of development opportunities and benefits. The Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences is Finland’s largest and most high-profile and extensive hub of research and teaching in the field. The Faculty educates experts to meet the needs of universities, research institutes, government, schools and the business sector. The positions Up to three post-doctoral positions are available at the University of Helsinki, Finland working in the research groups of Prof. Craig Primmer and Dr. Tutku Aykanat (http://www.helsinki.fi/evolution-conservation-and-genomics ) as a part of several related research consortia funded by the Research Council of Finland, the Kone Foundation and the ERC, with a focus on using the well studied Teno Atlantic salmon system as a model for adaptive management to assess biological and societal effects of recent anthropogenic changes on the Atlantic salmon metapopulation, alongside a detailed genetic and ecological evaluation of Pink salmon invasion in the river basin and the greater region. Successful applicants will likely have a strong background in research related to at least one of the themes listed below, but the specific combination of expertise is flexible, with the overall composition of the team being most important. Effects of management and ecosystem-related changes on salmon life-history phenotype and genotypes Evolutionary genomic approaches for assessing the effects of recent fishing management changes and invasive Pink salmon abundance on life-history phenotypes and genotypes. Relevant consortium publications: Erkinaro et al. 2019; Czorlich et al. 2018, 2022 Assessing sex-specific natural selection effects at key life-history loci due to anthropogenic and environmental factors Use of long- term data on Teno salmon reproductive fitness to assess potential sex-specific effects of recent fishing management changes and invasive Pink salmon abundance selection on Atlantic salmon life-history traits Relevant consortium publications: Czorlich et al. 2018; Mobley et al. 2019, 2020, 2024 Pink salmon genetics: determining the genetic basis of successful invasion Use of long-term scale material to identify genomic regions and structural variation potentially associated with higher invasion success. Relevant consortium publications: Erkinaro et al. 2026 Instructions for applying Appointees to the positions shall hold a doctoral degree and have the ability to conduct independent scholarly work. Suitable applicants will likely have a strong background in at least some of the themes and approaches listed above, although the species/system with which they have experience is less important.

A grant-funded researcher contract is made with a candidate, who receives tax-free stipend instead of salary. Why Finland? Finland is a member of the EU, has high quality free schooling (also in English), very affordable childcare, generous family benefits and healthcare, and has been ranked as the world’s happiest country six years running and the best country in the world for expat families and the City of Helsinki is in the world’s top ten most livable cities. The University of Helsinki is a top 100 ranked university in most ranking lists, is ranked 8th in the world in Ecology (Shanghai subject ranking) and is currently investing heavily in life science research (see https://www.helsinki.fi/en/helsinki-institute-of-life-science). The research team currently consists of 4 post docs, 4 PhD students and 4 research assistants with 9 different nationalities. The salmonid fish research field has traditionally lacked gender and cultural diversity, but the group is committed to helping to influence a change and we therefore strongly encourage applications from researchers with diverse backgrounds. Successful applicants are expected to adhere to the university and research group’s codes of conduct. Relevant publications: Barson et al.

United Kingdom, Guildford

institution

University of Surrey

United Kingdom, Guildford


The Centre for Vision, Speech, and Signal Processing is seeking to recruit a Research Software Engineer to support major research projects in generative AI, computer vision and LLM development. You will join an established research group within a highly rated research department, with an excellent computing and software infrastructure for first class research, modern facilities and close links with industry. Surrey’s Institute for People-Centred AI builds on 40 years of work into foundational AI at the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) which is ranked 1st in the UK for Computer Vision and in the top-5 for both Audio-Visual AI and Robotics (CS Rankings, 2025). The post sits within Professor Bowden’s sign language research group at CVSSP, which leads a portfolio of major collaborative projects developing AI for sign languages. These include SignGPT, a five-year EPSRC Programme Grant with the University of Oxford and UCL building tools to translate automatically between spoken language and photo-realistic sign language video in both directions; UMCS, a UK and Japan collaboration developing real-time sign language translation in everyday conversation; and a Google.org-funded project reducing the cost of sign language translation through AI. The Research Software Engineer will support and contributing to related research across the group, working on data management, front end demonstration software, AI model training, and inference and prediction, and on the construction and maintenance of a visual language toolkit that supports the research collaboration and its dissemination activities. The applicant should preferably have a PhD in a related area, but experience of software development in a research environment is key. Previous experience of sign language recognition and translation would be advantageous but not essential. The candidate should have good analytical and programming skills and experience of computer vision and machine learning; previous experience of real-time systems development in Python, PyTorch and deep learning would be desirable. The post will also involve full-stack software development to turn research models into usable tools and demonstrators, so experience of back-end development (for example REST/API services, databases and containerised deployment) and of building web front-ends to expose models and data is highly desirable. Applicants are expected to be proactive, to support others and to be self-motivated. The post is full time and offered for 3 years in the first instance. Salary will be in the range £37,694 to £56,535 per annum, on Levels 4 and 5. The work will involve Deaf people and users of British Sign Language (BSL), and through wider collaborative links, users of other international sign languages. Knowledge of sign language and awareness of Deaf culture would be advantageous. Deaf candidates with suitable experience would be welcome to apply. The University of Surrey is a global university with a world-class research profile and an enterprising spirit, located in one of the safest counties in England, within 35 minutes of London by train and minutes away from the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Recent investments have seen the opening of a world-class Sports Park and important updates to central facilities. We can offer a generous remuneration package, which includes relocation assistance where appropriate, an attractive research environment, the latest teaching facilities and access to a variety of staff development opportunities.
