Department of Computer Science Post Doctoral Scholar Position University of California, Irvine
The Department of Computer Science at UC Irvine has a postdoctoral position available in the area of machine learning and computational vision. The position is part of a collaboration between Professor Max Welling’s research group at UCI (department of Computer Science) and Professor Pietro Perona’s research group at Caltech (department of engineering). The postdoc is expected to spend at least one day a week at Caltech on average. Responsibilities will include the development of new algorithms for learning hierarchical models for visual object categories. The approach will focus on the following three aspects of this problem: I) developing probabilistic models for visual object categories in image data, II) developing learning algorithms that can automatically grow in complexity in response to new data, III) developing efficient learning and inference algorithms that scale to large datasets. Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or a closely-related discipline. The salary range for these positions will be between $45,000 and $60,000 annually, commensurate with training and experience. The earliest date for appointment will be October 1, 2009. The appointments will each initially be for a one-year period with extensions to additional years possible subject to availability of funding. Interested applicants should apply electronically to Max Welling at [email protected] with a subject line containing “application for postdoctoral position.” Applicants should include a list of publications, a CurriculumVitae and the names of three references in their electronic application (no letters required at this stage). Applicants who are unable to apply electronically should send their application by mail to: Max Welling Department of Computer Science 3019 Donald Bren Hall Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences University of California, Irvine CA 92697-3435 The University of California, Irvine is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity.
