Phd and postdoctoral positions available at the Idiap research institute (www.idiap.ch <http://www.idiap.ch/>) in Non-Verbal and Attention sensing in the wild

We invite applications for key roles in the TUNASBE project, funded by the Swiss SNSF, which aims to improve AI’s ability to understand human states, activities, and complex social behaviors in natural settings. The project focuses on interpreting non-verbal cues—such as gaze, gestures, and attention—through multi-task learning models that capture the subtleties of human interactions. 

The project will be supported by two PhD students and one postdoctoral researcher, to lead the design and development of computational models, focusing on gaze, attention, and multi-cue integration for human-centric computer vision analysis of social behaviors at the subject and scene levels in general settings.

PhD students will be registered at EPFL (www.epfl.ch <http://www.epfl.ch/>)

Idiap offers competitive salaries, a beautiful location, and a world-class AI research community. 

Please apply on the Idiap careers site.
