Connectionists: Open postdoc position in pattern recognition, machine learning and computer vision for biomedical data analysis

[Vittorio Murino]

Postdoctoral position in pattern recognition, machine learning and 
computer vision for biomedical data analysis

Budget code: 68041

The Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) was established by the Italian 
government with the objective of promoting technological development and 
higher education in science and technology. In this sense, IIT is 
implementing a detailed scientific program, which comprises integration 
across fundamental research and application. IIT's research endeavour 
focuses on high-tech and innovation, representing the forefront of 
technology with possible application from medicine to industry, computer 
science, robotics, life sciences and nanobiotechnologies.

The Pattern Analysis and Computer Vision department (PAVIS) 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 with applications to Biomedical Data Analysis

Research in PAVIS follows two main streams. One mission of PAVIS is to 
design and develop innovative video surveillance systems, characterized 
by the use of highly-functional smart sensors and advanced video 
analytics features. PAVIS also has 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 as well.

This call aims at consolidating PAVIS expertise in the following 
research areas:

+ Biomedical image analysis
+ Neuroimaging (functional and structural)
+ Biological signal/image/video processing
+ Neuronal network structural and functional activity analysis
+ Animal behaviour analysis
+ Multimodal data analysis and data fusion

We are seeking a self-motivated individual with the ability to take 
day-to-day responsibility for the progress of his own activities. The 
ideal candidate will have a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, 
Electronic Engineering or a closely-related discipline, with experience 
and qualification on machine learning, pattern recognition, computer 
vision, coupled with a keen interest on biomedical applications.
Evidence of top quality research on the specified areas in the form of 
published papers is mandatory. Expertise or experience about *deep 
learning approaches, sparse leaning, and/or dictionary learning *are 
highly appreciated. Programming skills are also required.

The postdoctoral position is up to 3 years. The salary will be 
commensurate to qualification and experience and in line to that of the 
research institutes in the rest of Europe. The position will be occupied 
according to a first come-first serve policy, and the search will 
continue until an appropriate candidate will be identified. Further 
details and informal enquires can be made by email to pavis at iit.it.

Completed application forms along with a curriculum listing all 
publications, a pdf of most representative publications and a research 
statement describing previous research experience and outlining its 
relevance to these topics should be sent by email to pavis at iit.it.
Please, indicate the *budget code: 68041 in the subject line*. Please, 
also indicate three independent references inside the CV.
