Open Postdoctoral position on Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition,
and Machine Learning<br>
PAVIS department @IIT<br>
<br>
The Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia - IIT - was founded
with the objective of promoting the country's technological
development and further education in science and technology. In this
sense, IIT’s scientific program is based in the combination of the
basic scientific research with the development of technical
applications, a major inspirational principle. The research areas
cover scientific topics of high innovative content, which represent
the most advanced frontiers of modern technology, with wide
application possibilities in various fields ranging from medicine to
industry, from computer science to robotics, life sciences, and
nanobiotechnology.
<p>The PAVIS department at IIT (<a
href="http://www.iit.it/pavis.html">http://www.iit.it/pavis.html</a>)
is looking for a highly qualified researcher in the field of
Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, and Image
Analysis. The main mission of PAVIS (Pattern Analysis and Computer
Vision) is to design and develop innovative video surveillance
systems, characterized by the use of highly-functional smart
sensors and advanced video analytics features.</p>
<p>PAVIS has also an active role in supporting the research
facilities in IIT providing solutions to life-scientists in
Neuroscience, Drug Discovery and Development and Nanophysics. To
this end, the group is involved in activities concerning computer
vision and pattern recognition, machine learning, multimodal data
analysis and sensor fusion, sensors networks, and embedded
computer vision systems. The lab will pursue this goal by working
collaboratively and in cooperation with external private and
public partners.</p>
<p>This call aims at consolidating PAVIS expertise in the following
research areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Detection and Tracking (individuals, groups, crowd) and
Re-identification;</li>
<li>Behaviour Analysis & Activity Recognition (individuals,
groups, crowd);</li>
<li>and, from the methodological point of view, Graphical Models,
Statistical Methods, Reasoning Paradigms in general.</li>
</ul>
<p>Applicants research experience and qualification on computer
vision and pattern recognition/machine learning are clearly a
must, and evidence of top quality research on the above specified
areas in the form of published papers in top conferences/journals
and/or patents are mandatory. Experience on the preparation and
management of research proposals (EU, US, national), and few years
of postdoc experience will constitute an added value.</p>
<p>Candidates should have a Ph.D. in computer vision, machine
learning, signal processing, image analysis or related areas.</p>
<p>The salary will be commensurate to qualification and experience
and in line to that of the research institutes in the rest of
Europe. Further details and informal enquires can be made by email
to <a href="mailto:pavis@iit.it">pavis@iit.it</a>.</p>
<p>Completed application forms along with a curriculum listing all
publications, a pdf of your most representative publications, and
a research statement describing your previous research experience
and outlining its relevance to the above topics should be sent by
email to <a href="mailto:pavis@iit.it">pavis@iit.it</a>,
indicating the reference number PAVIS-PDS 68042. Please also
indicate 2 independent references inside the CV or the email. This
