The IIT Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT at Ca'Foscari) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Venice has been established for researching and promoting new technologies and approaches for recording, documentation, analysis and preservation of Cultural Heritage in a broad sense (artistic, archaeological, archival, historical heritage). A strongly interdisciplinary infrastructure, the Centre combines expertise from computing and conservation sciences domains, integrating these competencies to foster cutting-edge research.

CCHT at Ca'Foscari is currently seeking to appoint a Senior PostDoc (i.e. minimum of 3 year experience outside PhD program) with a solid background in Computer Vision and Machine Learning approaches and methods, to be applied to Cultural Heritage applications. The search seeks at consolidating CCHT expertise especially in one or more of the following applications (not comprehensive list): 3D artefact digitisation and recording, document and text analysis, artefact classification and remote sensing data processing.
The selected candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers, contributing to the development of next generation Computer Vision and Machine Learning approaches applied to the Cultural Heritage and, more broadly, Digital Humanities domains.

Required qualifications:


*         a Ph.D. in computer science or related field (with specialisation in either Computer Vision or Machine Learning) and +3 years CV/ML experience outside PhD, OR demonstrated similar experience;

*         Knowledge of programming languages, e.g. Python, MATLAB etc.;

*         Experience in grant proposal preparation at National and/or European level;

Desirable skills:


*         Strong track record of research publications in top tier conferences and journals (e.g. CVPR, ICCV, ECCV,  ICML, NIPS, PAMI, JMLR, etc.).

*         Experience in supervising or co-supervising Ph.D. students or postdocs;

*         Knowledge of OpenCV, PCL and Open3D libraries;

*         Experience on Deep Learning algorithms and relevant platforms (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, Theano, Caffe);

*         The successful candidate will be offered a competitive salary commensurate to experience and skills.


The call will remain open until the position is filled but a first deadline for evaluation of candidates will be on February 15th, 2020.
