Connectionists: PhD-Student position in Computational Photography and Vision at Max-Planck Institut for Intelligent Systems, Germany.

[Stefan Harmeling]

In a collaboration with the recently established Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Tübingen (http://www.bccn-tuebingen.de) we have an opening for a

PhD-Student

in the field of computational photography and vision, at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Empirical Inference Department (http://is.mpg.de/13163/de). 

The PhD project is concerned with the size and shape of pupils in the animal kingdom and how they influence image quality and image deconvolution as well as image statistics in relation to biologically relevant behaviour. The work includes human psychophysics done in collaboration with Prof. Felix Wichmann (http://www.nip.uni-tuebingen.de).

We are looking for someone who is either mathematically strong --- preferably with prior exposure to either machine learning, image processing, or computational photography --- or has a strong background in vision science and an interest in formal methods. The position is for 3 years and pay is in accordance with TV-L E13 50%, approx. EUR 1350 per month after tax.

The Bernstein Center Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems entertain close links to the Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) in Tübingen (http://www.cin.uni-tuebingen.de), the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. The thriving local research community is composed of around sixty labs with more than 150 postdocs and 300 PhD students. Possibilities exist for multiple interactions between neurobiological, psychophysical, and theoretical researchers. 

Tübingen itself is a beautiful medieval town and home to one of the oldest European universities. It boasts a rich cultural community and is situated close to the Black Forest within 2h train or driving distance to France, Switzerland and Austria.

The deadline for applications is April, 15, 2012. Please send your application as a PDF to Sabrina Rehbaum (sabrina.rehbaum at tuebingen.mpg.de).

Informal enquiries can be addressed to Stefan Harmeling (image processing, machine learning, computational photography;stefan.harmeling at tuebingen.mpg.de) or Felix Wichmann (psychophysics;felix.wichmann at uni-tuebingen.de).
