[Alfredo Petrosino]

Research Fellow  in
Machine Learning for Signal and Video Processing

CVPRLab Research Group, Department of Applied Science, University of 
Naples Parthenope, Italy
http://cvprlab.uniparthenope.it/


The CVPRLab research group offers a research position to a highly 
motivated and skilled international candidate. The CVPRLab is a well 
established research group in Computer Vision and Pattern Recogntion and 
has developed mainly skills in high level image processing domains, such 
as the management of knowledge description and learning capabilities for 
vision tasks. Research areas are actually Soft Computing in Image 
Analysis, Structured Pattern Recognition, Intelligent Processing of 
Spatio-temporal signals, Videosurveillance.

The position will develop and apply novel machine learning, soft 
computing and computer vision algorithms within the context of the
MIUR- FIRB Project IntelliLogic (cod. RBIPO6MMBW), started on January 
2nd 2008 and funded by Minister of Education, University and Research of 
Italy. The project is aimed at developing and integrating innovative 
computational intelligence techniques inside an IT platform for logistics.

The open position will operate in the areas of attention based visual 
learning, temporal classification of human activity from multimodal 
data, temporal segmentation of human behavior, spatio-temporal signal 
mining. The candidate is expected to hold a Master's degree in computer 
science, mathematics or a closely related field. Candidates should have 
a research and professional skill in at least one of the following 
areas: machine learning, signal/video processing, computer vision, but 
at least a very solid programming skill and a solid mathematical 
background are required.

The research position is for 3 years, on the basis of 1 year renewal. 
The yearly total of research grants is Euro 23.900,00 that includes all 
social contributions to be paid by the employer. The deadline for 
application is 27 October 2008.
