Postdoctoral position in computer vision for surveillance

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a postdoctoral 
position in computer vision for surveillance applications. The work will

automatic scene parameter adaptation. The project involves a Small 
company and a Technological university.

The ideal postdoctoral candidate is expected to have a PhD in computer 
science or electrical engineering with a strong background in one of the 
following topics:
- computer vision and video processing (tracking, low-level feature 
extraction, motion analysis; 3d geometry...)
- machine learning
- surveillance
The applicant should have strong programming skills and be familiar with 
C/C++ and the Linux environment.

The position is for 18 months. The starting date is as soon as possible.
