Connectionists: Postdoctoral Position in Computer Vision and Machine Learning Applied to Art Authentication

[Eric Postma]

The Cognitive Science & AI <https://www.csai.nl/> department at Tilburg
University and the Zurich based startup Art Recognition AG
<https://art-recognition.com/> invite applications for a 2-year
postdoctoral position funded from the Eurostars-2 joint program with
co-funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation
program.

AI methods represent a quantifiable scientific alternative to the
traditional art authentication methods. To improve the prototype and make
it commercially viable, Art Recognition has partnered up with the Cognitive
Science & AI Department (CSAI) at Tilburg University (the Netherlands)
which already has extensive experience with using computer vision/AI
methods in the artistic context. CSAI performs computational research in
the domains of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science and runs
educational programs on Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence and
Data Science and Society. The rapid expansion of our programs offers
opportunities for young researchers to contribute to our program and to set
up and expand their own research.

The selected candidate will contribute to the development of next
generation AI algorithm applied to art authentication. The candidate will
be hosted in the CSAI department at Tilburg University and will
occasionally travel to Zurich.

*Required qualifications*

- Recently acquired Ph.D. in computer science or a quantitative discipline;
- Experience in Deep Learning algorithms;
- Proficient with using python and relevant platforms (e.g., Tensorflow);
- Strong track record of research publications in top tier conferences and
journals;
- Interest in working at the frontier of data science and art;
- Good communication skills and ability to cooperate.
