PhD and PostDoc Positions in Computer Vision

The Computer Vision group at Heidelberg University (Germany) is offering 
several fully funded PhD and PostDoc positions that became available 
with several recently acquired research grants. Your future research 
will be on different aspects of image and video understanding, with a 
particular focus on topics such as image and video synthesis, 
disentangled representation learning, visual retrieval, human behavior 
analysis, or deep metric learning. There is also the optional 
possibility to explore applications of this fundamental research through 
existing collaborations of the Computer Vision group in different areas 
such as automotive or neuroscience. You should have a strong background 
in vision and learning and be fluent in Python as well as English.

Our group offers an inspiring environment for your future research and 
our institute provides all you need to carry it out. And besides: the 
entire department has recently moved into a shiny new building with 
beautiful views of the picturesque medieval city of Heidelberg. The 
salary of the full position is competitive (TVL/13 up to TVL/14).

Your application should include a CV, a cover letter including a 
statement of research interests, a transcript of records, a list of 
publications, and two academic references. Should you have any other 
documents in support of your application that you want us to be excited 
about, send us a link – your and our mailserver will thank you. Please 
send your application as a PDF to 
hci.applications at iwr.uni-heidelberg.de. For further inquiries please
