[Maks Ovsjanikov]

===========================================
Title: Postdoc and PhD student positions in
3D Geometry Processing / Computer Graphics / Computer Vision
Location: Ecole Polytechnique, France
Start date: April-September 2018
===========================================

Description:

One postdoctoral researcher and one PhD student position are available at
the LIX research laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique in France, in the area
of:

"Exploring Relations in Structured Data with Functional Maps"

The goal of this project is to develop tools for the analysis and
processing of complex geometric data, such as large-scale 3D model
collections, by building on techniques from Computer Graphics, Geometry
Processing and Machine Learning. The ultimate objective is to create a
unified framework for representing and analyzing structured data to solve
problems such as: shape comparison and matching, shape segmentation and
labeling, shape deformation and recognition among others. The project will
be funded, in part, by the ERC Starting Grant EXPROTEA.

The ideal candidates should have strong background in at least some of the
following:

 - Geometry Processing and 3D shape analysis
 - Computer Graphics
 - Computer Vision and Image Processing
 - Knowledge of basic Differential Geometry
 - Machine Learning
 - Programming experience, especially in multimedia data analysis

For the postdoc position, candidates must have a PhD at the starting time
of the post-doc, and should have publications in top venues in either
Computer Graphics (e.g., SIGGRAPH, Eurographics, SGP) or a related field.
The expected duration of the post-doc is 2 years.

For the PhD position, the candidate should have a Master's degree with
preference given to those having strong research experience. The expected
duration of the PhD is 3 years.

Venue and supervision:

Successful candidates will work at Ecole Polytechnique located in
Palaiseau, Paris area, France. The project will be supervised by Maks
Ovsjanikov (LIX, Ecole Polytechnique):

The expected salary is approximately 2400 euros net for the post-doctoral
position and approximately 1800 euros net per month for the PhD position.

How to apply:

To apply, please contact Maks Ovsjanikov (maks at lix.polytechnique.fr). In
your email, please include your CV, a short cover letter and a publication
list. In your cover letter, make sure to mention how your interests and
experience relate to the topics in this announcement.

Reference letters are optional but may need to be provided upon request.
