Connectionists: Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Computer Vision at EPFL

[Pascal Fua]

EPFL's Computer  Vision Laboratory ( http://cvlab.epfl.ch/ ) has two 
openings for post-doctoral fellows in  the field  of Computer Vision. 
More specifically, we are looking for people interested in:

- 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/page-90578-en.html for more details.

- People-tracking from multiple video streams.  We have been developing 
video-based algorithms for tracking multiple players in team sports and 
we would like to broaden their scope. See 
http://cvlab.epfl.ch/research/body/surv for more details.

Position:

They are initially offered for 12 months starting in Febuary 2015 and 
can be extended.

The Computer  Vision laboratory offers  a creative international 
environment, a possibility to conduct competitive research on a global 
scale and involvement in teaching.  Within  the project, 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.
