Connectionists: Post-doctoral Fellowship in Computer Vision 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 Computer Vision and Augmented 
Reality. The position is initially offered for 1 year and can be 
extended for up to 4 years total.

Description:

The work  will be carried out within  the context of a  European Union 
project in collaboration with CERN. Its overall goal is to develop 
Augmented Reality techniques that can eventually be deployed in the 
ATLAS detector at CERN for maintenance purposes.

Position:

The work  will be carried out within  the context of a  European Union 
project. Its overall goal is to incorporate Augmented Reality techniques 
into a tool for authoring games on mobile devices. Among other things, 
we will develop very fast techniques for 3D pose estimation in outdoors 
environments.

EPFL is located next to Lake Geneva in a beautiful setting 60 kilometers 
away from the city of Geneva.  Salaries are in the order CHF 80,000 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 a strong background in Computer Vision and 3D 
Tracking, 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 Ms.  Gisclon
