PhD student and PostDoc positions available at OHSU

The Biomedical and Computer Science Division (BMCS) at Oregon Health and 
Science University (OHSU) is seeking immediately one PhD student and one 
postdoctoral researcher in the field of computer vision and machine 
learning.

The candidates will work on a project funded by the National Science 
Foundation, on studying the cross-modal affect of children. 
Specifically, he/she will develop algorithms for (1) face image 
frontalization, i.e., reconstructs the 3D face through depth recovery 
from a synchronized array of cameras; (2) rendering a 2D frontal view 
from the 3D face; and (3) feature extraction for the 2D rendered face 
for affect classification and analysis.

The successful candidates will have a PhD degree (for the postdoc 
position) or a Master degree (for the phd student position) and 
experience in one of the following  fields:

- computer  vision or  image processing
- machine  learning,  pattern recognition  or  statistical techniques
- stereo vision/depth recovery/structure from motion

In addition, the candidate should  have a  strong background  in C/C++ 
and Matlab programming, and be interested in working towards a  live 
demonstrator of the investigated techniques and  models.  Experience in 
face modeling would  be an  asset.  The applicant should have good 
demonstrated skills in written and spoken English.

Both position are open immediately. The PhD student position is 
open-ended (with a minimum of three years) and the Postdoctoral position 
is for two years with competitive salary and compensation.

Interested candidates should send a letter of  motivation, along with 
their detailed CV, electronic transcripts of B.S. and M.S. degrees to 
xubosong at csee.ogi.edu.
