Connectionists: Post-doctoral position in Vision/Robotics 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  perception. The  position is  
initially
offered for 12 months and can be extended.

Description:

The work  will be carried out within  the context of an  European Union 
project,
whose overall aim is to investigate interactions between morphology and 
behavior
by designing and building a  prototype of a reconfigurable anguilliform 
swimming
robot.  More specifically,  our goal  is to  give this  robot an  
electric sense
comparable to that of real electric fish, which it will be able to use 
to detect
and recognize objects and obstacles.

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 CHF 70000 to 80000 
per year,
the precise amount to be determined by EPFL's department of human resources.

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 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 by 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.
