<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Candidates
are sought for two postdoctoral researchers to join an
interdisciplinary team of computer and human vision
researchers studying the role of perceptual grouping,
such as forms of symmetry, in object and scene
categorization and reconstruction in both human and
computer vision. The postdocs will be based at the
University of Toronto, working closely with Professors
Sven Dickinson (Computer Science) and Dirk
Bernhardt-Walther (Psychology), but will also work
closely (in person) with Professors Kaleem Siddiqi
(Computer Science, McGill University) and Zygmunt Pizlo
(Cognitive Sciences, UC Irvine). This is a unique
opportunity to help shape a highly interdisciplinary
research program across four labs, significantly
advancing our understanding of visual perception. <br>
<br>
Candidates should have a PhD in computer vision,
psychology, cognitive science, AI, or computational
neuroscience, with </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">experience
using, and innovating with, modern machine learning
tools</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">.
It is essential that the candidates have a deep interest
in how computer vision can help us better understand
human vision and, conversely, how human vision can
better inform computer vision. The ideal candidate will
have a background in one or more of the following
research areas: 2-D or 3-D shape perception, 2-D or 3-D
shape representation learning, object recognition, shape
invariants and shape constraints, scene categorization,
and perceptual grouping. Skills in image processing or
classical computer vision and/or applied mathematics are
desirable as well. We seek candidates </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">with
a strong interest in, and willingness to learn, how to
apply cutting-edge ML techniques at the forefront of
computer vision, informed by human vision research,
though practical neural network design experience would
be preferred.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
<br>
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV,
and a statement of their research experience and
interests to Sven Dickinson (</span><a href="mailto:sven@cs.toronto.edu" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:blue">sven@cs.toronto.edu</span></a><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">).
