Open positions for Junior and Senior postdoc in PAVIS dept. at Istituto 
Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy

The PAVIS department at Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia - IIT 
(www.iit.it) is looking for highly qualified researchers in the field of 
Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis and Machine 
Learning. The main mission of PAVIS is to design and develop innovative 
video surveillance systems, characterized by the use of 
highly-functional smart sensors and advanced video analytics features. 
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.

This call aims at consolidating PAVIS expertise in the following 
research areas:
● low-level video analytics: signal/image processing, tagging and 
tracking (individuals, groups, crowd, etc.);
● high-level video analytics: behaviour analysis, activity recognition, 
reasoning paradigms, graphical models.
● Multi-modal sensor fusion, sensor networks, localisation and 
cooperative 3D reconstruction in heterogeneous sensor networks.

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 and/or patents are mandatory. As a further mandatory 
skill for the Senior position, the candidate should be able to attract 
international funding opportunities and have experience in project 
proposal preparation and coordination at European and/or international 
level.

The postdoctoral position is up to 4 years starting as soon as possible. 
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in computer vision, machine learning, 
signal processing, image analysis or related areas and research 
experience at postdoctoral level of at least three years. Evidence of 
top quality research on the above areas in the form of published papers 
are definitely required.
The salary will be commensurate to qualification and experience and in 
line to that of the research institutes in the rest of Europe. There is 
no closing date for applications, they will be processed by a first-come 
first-serve basis, so prompt applications are encouraged. We’ll contact 
the applicants for the follow-on of the procedure.

Further details and informal enquires can be made by email to pavis at iit.it
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 these topics should by email to pavis at iit.it 
Please, if possible, also indicate three independent references inside 
the CV or the email.
