Connectionists: PhD and Postdoc Position in Computer Vision - University of Heidelberg

[Björn Ommer]

PhD and Postdoc Position in Computer Vision at the University of Heidelberg

The University of Heidelberg invites applications for both a fully 
funded position for a Postdoc and PhD student in Computer Vision. Both 
positions will be affiliated with the Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image 
Processing (HCI). The HCI comprises five research groups (Garbe, 
Hamprecht, Jaehne, Ommer, Schnoerr) and is funded within the German 
Excellence Initiative by the German Research Foundation (DFG), 
industrial partners, and the University. Heidelberg is an attractive, 
lively city and the University and the HCI provide an inspiring research 
environment.

The open positions are situated in the research areas
• Visual object recognition in images and video, e.g., web-scale object 
detection
• Action recognition in video sequences, e.g., abnormality detection

Ideal candidates will have an excellent degree (Diploma, M.Sc. or 
equivalent for the PhD position; PhD for the PostDoc position) in 
Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a 
related field. They will have a strong mathematical background, solid 
programming experience in C++ and Matlab, and above all a strong 
motivation and desire to learn. Prior experience in computer vision and 
pattern recognition is desired and fluency in English is required (both 
written and spoken).

Applications should be submitted by email until October 29, 2012 and 
include a statement of research interests and experience, a complete 
curriculum vitae, academic transcripts and grades, a list of 
publications, and recommendation letters from two academic references. 
The screening process will already start beginning of October so early 
submissions are encouraged. The starting date is negotiable.
