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. .Fua
(pascal.fua@epfl.ch). They must contain a statement of interest, a CV,
a list of publications, and the names of three references.
