Connectionists: Post-doctoral Position in Computer Vision at EPFL

[Pascal Fua]

EPFL's Computer Vision Laboratory (http://cvlab.epfl.ch/) has an opening 
for a post-doctoral fellow in the field of Computer Vision and Human 
Body Modeling. The position is initially offered for 12 months.

Description:

The work will be carried out within the context of the Marie Curie 
Research Training Network (http://visiontrain.inrialpes.fr/) , whose 
goal is to addresses the problem of understanding vision from both 
computational and cognitive points of view. EPFL's main role within this 
project relates to human body modeling from video sequences.

Within this context, the successful candidate will be able to work on a 
subject of his/her own choice.

Position:

The Computer Vision laboratory offers a creative international 
environment, a possibility to conduct competitive research on a global 
scale and involvement in teaching. Within the project, there will be 
ample opportunities to cooperate with some of the best groups in Europe 
and elsewhere.

EPFL is located next to Lake Geneva in a beautiful setting 60 kilometers 
away from the city of Geneva. Salaries are in the range EUR 40000 to 
45000 per year, the precise amount to be determined by EPFL's department 
of human resources. Because, the project is funded under the Marie Curie 
rules, some nationality restrictions apply. See 
http://visiontrain.inrialpes.fr/?page=post_proposals for details.

Education:

Applicants are expected to have finished, or be about to finish their 
Ph.D. degrees, to have strong mathematical background, and to have a 
track record of publications in top computer vision conferences and 
journals. Strong programming skills (C or C++) are a plus. French 
language skills are not required, English is mandatory.

Application:

Applications must be sent via email to Prof. P. Fua 
(pascal.fua at epfl.ch). They must contain a statement of interest, a CV, a 
list of publications, and the names of three references.
