Open Postdoctoral position on Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and  
Machine Learning
PAVIS department @IIT

The Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia - IIT - was founded with 
the objective of promoting the country's technological development and 
further education in science and technology. In this sense, IIT's 
scientific program is based in the combination of the basic scientific 
research with the development of technical applications, a major 
inspirational principle. The research areas cover scientific topics of 
high innovative content, which represent the most advanced frontiers of 
modern technology, with wide application possibilities in various fields 
ranging from medicine to industry, from computer science to robotics, 
life sciences, and nanobiotechnology.

The PAVIS department at IIT (http://www.iit.it/pavis.html) is looking 
for a highly qualified researcher in the field of Computer Vision, 
Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, and Image Analysis. The main 
mission of PAVIS (Pattern Analysis and Computer Vision) 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:

  * Detection and Tracking (individuals, groups, crowd) and
    Re-identification;
  * Behaviour Analysis & Activity Recognition (individuals, groups, crowd);
  * and, from the methodological point of view, Graphical Models,
    Statistical Methods, Reasoning Paradigms in general.

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 in top conferences/journals and/or patents are 
mandatory. Experience on the preparation and management of research 
proposals (EU, US, national), and few years of postdoc experience will 
constitute an added value.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in computer vision, machine learning, 
signal processing, image analysis or related areas.

The salary will be commensurate to qualification and experience and in 
line to that of the research institutes in the rest of Europe. Further 
details and informal enquires can be made by email to pavis at iit.it 
<mailto: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 the above topics should be sent by email to 
pavis at iit.it <mailto:pavis at iit.it>, indicating the reference number 
PAVIS-PDS 68042. Please also indicate 2 independent references inside 
the CV or the email. This call will be open and applications will be 
reviewed until the position is filled but for full consideration please
