Open PhD and PostDoc Positions in 3D Computer Vision and Continual Learning
Saarland University <https://www.uni-saarland.de/en/home.html> is one of the
leading locations for computer science in Germany and Europe. The Computer Vision and
Machine Perception <https://cvmp.cs.uni-saarland.de/> research lab is headed by
Eddy Ilg <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=MYvSvGsAAAAJ&hl=de> with
close ties to MPI Saarbrücken <https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/de/home> and to Meta
<https://about.facebook.com/realitylabs/> and has open PhD and PostDoc positions
for 3D computer vision and continual learning.
Although deep learning has conquered the field of perception algorithms and is today
omnipresent, strong limitations of conventional systems are that they operate in 2D and
use a fixed training dataset.
The goal of your project will be to advance state-of-the-art machine perception algorithms
by lifting the representation to 3D and enabling the systems to increase their knowledge
from continuously incoming unlabeled data. To this end, you will be developing deep
learning-based models that can reason about their own knowledge and combining those models
with state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction techniques. Your work will involve 3D
reconstruction, physical light transport models, uncertainty estimation and continual
learning and connect to natural language processing, reinforcement learning and
fundamental research.
The positions target publications on CVPR, ECCV, ICCV and NeurIPS and will set you up for
an outstanding career in academia or industry. The research is highly relevant for the
future of AI and the practical use of your research will be for 3D scene understanding,
contextual AI, virtual shopping and visual search. You will be working in an
interdisciplinary setting embedded in the environment of Saarland Informatics Campus
<https://saarland-informatics-campus.de/> with leading researchers in the field and
building international relationships.
Requirements for the PhD position:
* An outstanding Master’s degree
* Coursework in computer vision and machine learning
* Ideally coursework in computer graphics and natural language processing
* A thesis in a related topic
* Strong interest in research
* A previously published paper is desired
Please include the following information with your application:
* Your CV
* A recent grade transcript
* A link to your thesis
Requirements for the PostDoc position:
* An outstanding PhD with strong visibility on CVPR, ECCV, ICCV and NeuIPS
* Background in 2D and 3D computer vision
* Optionally a background in continual learning
* Interest to work in an interdisciplinary setting in 2D/3D computer vision, NLP and
reinforcement learning
* Interest to take a leading role by contributing to the direction of the project and
co-supervising students
* Motivation to build international relationships
* Optionally interest in co-founding a startup
Please include the following information with your application:
* Your CV
* Your publication list
* A link to your thesis
Please send your application to cvmp-applications(a)cs.uni-saarland.de.
