What I have noticed is that PhD supervisor tends to hire doctoral researcher or post doc from the same nationality as they are.

Is there biasness based on nationality?

I am structural engineer by profession with modest skill in Python and Matlab as required by job.

Basically, we perform civil infrastructure inspection and provide it (collected pictures) with condition rating (1-4). 1 being in Excellent condition and 4 being in worst condition. Over years of inspection we have 30k + photos with condition rating provided by engineers for each photos.

I want to ask if I want to learn to train an AI model to learn from this example and make it able to provide condition rating in the future, will I be able to do it? What should be my pathway of learning?

Pretty good at statistics and basic python.

Thank you for your attention.
