<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue Light"">I am seeking to hire two postdoctoral fellows as part of an ERC-funded Consolidator Grant. The start date is November 1, and the positions are
for three years (with possible extension up to five years). The location is Darmstadt, Germany.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue Light"">I will be at VSS next week, and would be happy to arrange informal meetings with potentially interested candidates.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue Light"">The goals of the grant are to study how people infer which parts of a scene belong to which objects, how the rich information provided by the projection
of the 3D world into our eyes contributes to these inferences, and how these processes might be learned. We will develop a new display device and experimental methods to study how adults segment scenes, and develop new technologies using advanced computer
graphics and machine learning to simulate the inputs to the visual system from early development to adulthood.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue Light"">To achieve these goals, I am ideally seeking one person with experience with multifocal displays, and another person with experience in computer
graphics (particularly with inverse rendering). Work packages are closely tied together and there will be ample opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other. The team will be expanded by the hiring of two PhD students in mid-2024.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
