We have an immediate opening for a PhD candidate or PostDoc in the area of bio-inspiered computer vision systems.
We seek for an excellent candidate with a strong own interest in computer vision, machine learning, or probabilistic inference. 
Project goal is the creation of a general-purpose trainable vision system using hierarchical recurrent neural networks and/or hierarchical graphical models with loops. Various deep, locally connected network architectures and learning algorithms will be investigated for their ability to capture the hierarchical structure of the visual world. The system will be implemented on GPUs using CUDA and tested on real-world data sets, for example from robotics.
The position involves teaching duties of four hours per week in the semester.

Education:
Masters (or Diploma) degree or PhD in any of Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics. A strong mathematical background is highly desirable. Advantageous is experience in computer vision, machine learning, applied statistics, and excellent programming skills (Matlab or C).

Salary:
According to NRW TVL-13 annual gross starting from 37.700 Euros (approx. USD 58.570), depending on experience.
Initial contract will be up to three years.

Applying:
Please send applications via email, including the regular CV, your research interests, and list of publications, preferably in a single pdf. Links to download publications and thesis are also welcome. Applications should be sent
