Apologise for multiple posting

---------------------------
Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT - www.iit.it) together 
with the University of Genova opened the call for the 2015 Doctoral 
Course on Sciences & Technologies For Electronics & Telecommunication - 
Curriculum in Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning

In this context, Ph.D. positions are available at the Pattern Analysis 
and Computer Vision (PAVIS) dept. to work in Computer Vision, Pattern 
Recognition and Machine Learning, and more specifically on the following 
themes:

Theme A: Computer vision for behavioral analysis and activity recognition

Theme B: Computer vision for the prediction of human intentions

Theme C: Part-based human body modeling for Socially-Aware Computer Vision

Theme D: Crowd behavioral analysis and event recognition

Theme E: Re-identification using soft biometric cues

Theme F: Long term visual learning for 3D scene understanding

Theme G: Biomedical imaging and connectomics analysis

Theme H: Animal behavior analysis

More info on the above research topics can be found at:
http://iit.it/images/phd-xxxi/ResearchThemes_IIT-PAVIS.pdf
or directly asked to Prof. V. Murino (vittorio.murino at iit.it) or any 
other tutor indicated for each theme.

The PhD program on the listed themes will take place at the PAVIS 
department of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) located in 
Genova (www.iit.it)

The department focuses on activities related to the analysis and 
understanding of images and patterns in general, thus representing a 
reference for the other IIT Departments and labs which have to deal with 
such kind of data. The PAVIS staff has a wide expertise on image 
processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, machine learning, 
and related applications (mainly surveillance/security and biomedical).

For more information, you can also browse the PAVIS webpages to see our 
activities and research at: http://www.iit.it/pavis.html

To apply, follow the instructions indicated in the links, in short: a 
detailed CV, a research proposal under one or more themes chosen among 
those above indicated, reference letters, and any other formal document 
concerning the degrees earned.

Notice that these documents are mandatory in order to consider valid the 
application.

IMPORTANT: You need to specify the theme (one or more) you want to apply 
and include a research statement (research 
proposal/project/plan/rationale) on such theme.

ONLINE APPLICATION DEADLINE is June 10th, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. (noon – 
Italian time/CET) Strict deadline, no extension.

APPLICATIONS are possible through ONLINE PROCEDURE ONLY, look at:
