The Computer Vision Group at the University of Freiburg
headed by Prof. Thomas Brox has openings for 2 PhD positions. We are
seeking applicants with a strong interest in vision and learning.
Successful candidates will join a young and dynamic research group pursuing research that has strong impact in the field. The group’s core research areas are video analysis and learning from video. You will work mainly on developing new learning methods for part-based recognition models.
The positions are fully funded with a salary according to German VL13 (approximately 39k-42k Euro depending on proficiency). The positions come with direct supervision by the professor and support to enable completion of the thesis within 3 years. Funding for up to 2 more years is available.
The University of Freiburg is one of the nine top universities in Germany, with the Computer Vision Group being directly involved in the BIOSS cluster of excellence. The Department of Computer Science hosts many great scientists, among them renowned experts in Robotics
and Artificial Intelligence. Freiburg, the warmest spot in Germany, is located in the very southwest, and is only 30 minutes away from France and Switzerland. It is situated at the foot of the Schwarzwald and is close to the Alps with many possibilities for recreational
activities.
Ideal candidates have an excellent degree (M.Sc. or equivalent) in Computer Science, Physics, or Mathematics. You must have a strong mathematical background and solid programming experience in C++ and ideally Matlab. Above all, you must have learned to work
independently, have a strong motivation, interest for detailed analysis, and a distinct desire to learn. Prior experience in computer vision or machine learning is advantageous. Fluency in English (both written and spoken) is required.
The university aims to increase the presence of women amongst its scientists, and qualified female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Physically challenged candidates with similar qualifications will be given special consideration.
If you are interested, please send your complete application via e-mail as early as possible and by December 15th, 2011 at the latest. Before applying, please read the detailed instructions at
