The Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL) (http://www.cs.unr.edu/CVL) at the
University of Nevada, Reno invites applications for postdoc and research
assistant positions starting in Fall 2001/Spring 2001. Preference will be
given to students who want to pursue a PhD degree in Computer Vision.
Active research areas within CVL include object recognition, face
detection, face recognition, human tracking, head tracking and pose
estimation, hand tracking and pose estimation, eye-gaze estimation, human
activity recognition, surveillance, and biometrics. CVL is currently
funded by NSF, NASA, and DOD. It is also collaborating with several
government and industrial laboratories including Los Alamos National Lab,
Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Ford, IGT, and Honeywell. CVL is well
equipped with Sun Ultra Workstations, PCs, Sony EVI-D30 cameras, frame
grabbers, mobile robots, printers etc. Computer Vision is a major research
area within the CS Department.
Requirements: You must have a first degree in either an Engineering
subject, in Mathematics, in Physics, or in Computer Science. A good
Mathematical background, programming skills in C or C++, and familiarity
with Unix/Linux are necessary. Prior familiarity with Image Processing,
Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Artificial Neural Networks is
desirable.

Some information about UNR
The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) (http://www.unr.edu) is a land grant
institution, established in 1874 (see next page for information about the
Reno metropolitan area). It has 11 schools and colleges and offers 70
majors for an undergraduate degree; 70 master's degree programs; and 34
doctoral programs including a four-year medical school. The University of
UNR's 14,000 students come from all 17 Nevada counties, from all 50 states
and from more than 80 countries. The university conducts more than $70
million in research grants and contracts each year. UNR is fully
accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. The
Department of Computer Science (http://www.cs.unr.edu) is one of the four
departments within the College of Engineering. It has 9 full-time faculty
and 8 adjunct faculty and offers degrees in Computer Science (BS, MS) and
Computer Engineering (BS, MS, and PhD). CS has about 260 undergraduates,
60 MS, and 12 PhD students.
Some information about the Reno metropolitan area
UNR is an integral part of the Reno metropolitan area, home to
approximately 300,000 people. The 255-acre main campus, located minutes
from downtown Reno, features both contemporary and historic architecture,
and the university's tree-lined Quadrangle is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. The academic atmosphere is filled with rich
surroundings for the cultural and intellectual development of the
students. Reno is bounded on the west by the majestic Sierra Nevada
mountain range and on the east by the rolling basin and range province,
Reno benefits from a comfortable climate. There are four distinct seasons
in this cool, dry climate where the sun shines nearly 290 days a year. The
area is noted for its variety of recreational opportunities, which include
sailing, camping, hiking, fishing, and sightseeing. Within an hour's drive
of the campus, for example, are Lake Tahoe in the High Sierra, and Pyramid
Lake, a unique prehistoric desert sea. Also within an hour's drive are a
number of nationally known ski areas, including Squaw Valley, site of the
1960 Winter Olympics. Other scenic attractions include Virginia City,
setting of one of the West's richest mining bonanzas; Genoa, the state's
first pioneer settlement; and Carson City, the Nevada state capital. Reno
is within 2 hours' drive from Sacramento and 3.5 hours' drive from San
Francisco.
