OPEN RESEARCH POSITION in DEEP LEARNING FOR COMPUTER VISION
An opening is available for a RESEARCH POSITION at the University of 
Ljubljana in the area of deep learning for computer vision. The opening 
is available within a national research project funded by the Slovenian 
Research Agency (ARRS). The goal of the project is to develop deep 
learning models able to infer volumetric part-based models from visual 
data, e.g., depth images, point clouds, intensity images, etc.
The appointment is from January 1st, 2019 (may be delayed a few (1-3) 
months if needed) until June 30th, 2020 with a possible extension.

If the candidate does not hold a PhD degree, enrollment into the 
Doctoral School of the University of Ljubljana is also possible.

** Work description **
The candidate is expected to:
•    Conduct research in the scope of a fundamental ARRS project
•    Develop deep learning solutions for the recovery volumetric models 
from visual data
•    Publish results in peer reviewed vision-oriented journals and 
conferences
•    Collaborate with students and research staff on related projects

** Expected qualifications **
•    MSc or PhD degree in computer science or related fields
•    Outstanding programming skills, e.g., Python, Matlab, C++
•    Experience with deep learning frameworks, e.g., Keras, PyTorch, Caffe
•    Familiarity with computer vision tools and libraries, e.g., OpenCV, 
VLFeat
•    Good track record – publications in SCI indexed journals and 
top-tier conferences
•    Excellent oral and written communication skills (in English)

** How to apply **
Interested candidates should send a CV with a detailed description of 
skills and research experience and a cover letter with the e-mail 
subject [ARRS SQ: Research application] to Assoc. Prof. Peter Peer 
(peter.peer at fri.uni-lj.si) and Assoc. Prof. Vitomir Struc 
(vitomir.struc at fe.uni-lj.si). Review of applications will continue until 
the position is filled. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
