Connectionists: Post-doctoral Positions in Computer Vision at EPFL

[Pascal Fua]

EPFL's Computer  Vision Laboratory (http://cvlab.epfl.ch/) has openings 
for several post-doctoral fellows in  the field  of Computer Vision. The 
  positions is  initially offered for 12 months and can be extended. In 
particular, we are looking for people interested in:

- Augmented Reality. We are about to start an EU project that focuses on 
developing Augmented Reality techniques for games on mobile devices. It 
will build on our earlier work on binary descriptors.

- Video-based people tracking.  We are about to start a project 
involving tracking multiple players in team sports, with a view to 
deployment in major sports venues in 2012. See 
http://cvlab.epfl.ch/research/body/surv/ for more details.

- Modeling neurons from microscopy images. Since microscopes now 
routinely produce high-resolution imagery in such large quantities that 
the need for automated processing and interpretation is becoming 
critical, we are working on approaches to providing it. See 
http://cvlab.epfl.ch/research/medical/neurons/ for more details.


Position:

The Computer  Vision laboratory offers  a creative international 
environment, a possibility to conduct competitive research on a global 
scale and involvement in teaching. There  will be ample opportunities 
to cooperate with some of the best groups in Europe and elsewhere.

EPFL is  located next to Lake Geneva  in a beautiful setting  60 
kilometers away from the city of Geneva.  Salaries are in the order of 
CHF 80000 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 
Science, 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 
(josiane.gisclon at epfl.ch).  They must contain a statement of interest, a 
CV, a list of publications, and the names of three references.
