Post-doctoral Position in Robotics/Computer Vision at EPFL http://cvlab.epfl.ch/
EPFL's Computer Vision Laboratory (http://cvlab.epfl.ch/) has an opening for a post-doctoral fellow in the field of perception. The position is initially offered for 12 months and can be extended.
Description:
The work will be carried out within the context of an European Union project, whose overall aim is to investigate interactions between morphology and behavior by designing and building a prototype of a reconfigurable anguilliform swimming robot. More specifically, our goal is to give this robot an electric sense comparable to that of real electric fish, which it will be able to use to detect and recognize objects and obstacles.
Position:
The Computer Vision laboratory offers a creative international environment, a possibility to conduct competitive research on a global scale and involvement in teaching. Within the project, there will be ample opportunities to cooperate with some of the best groups in Europe and elsewhere.
EPFL is located next to Lake Geneva in a beautiful setting 60 kilometers away from the city of Geneva. Salaries are in the range CHF 70000 to 80000 per year, the precise amount to be determined by EPFL's department of human resources.
Education:
Applicants are expected to have finished, or be about to finish their Ph.D. degrees, to have strong mathematical background, and to have a track record of publications in top conferences and journals. Strong programming skills (C or C++) are a plus. French language skills are not required, English is mandatory.
Application:
Applications must be sent by email to Prof. P. Fua (pascal.fua@epfl.ch). They must contain a statement of interest, a CV, a list of publications, and the names of three references.
