Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions on Intelligent Video Surveillance
IIT Italian Institute of Technology, Genova, Italy


The IIT wants to establish a laboratory on Intelligent Vision Systems,
specifically focused on video surveillance and security aspects and is
starting the recruitment of full-time researchers.
The mission of the laboratory is to design and develop innovative video
surveillance systems, characterized by the use of highly-functional
smart sensors and advanced video analytics features.
To this end, the laboratory is involved in activities concerning
computer vision and pattern recognition, biometry, multimodal data
analysis and sensor fusion, sensors networks, and embedded computer
vision systems.
The lab will pursue this goal by working collaboratively and in
cooperation with external private and public partners.

This first call aims at opening postdoc positions related to the above
areas of expertise and specifically devoted to:
+ low-level video analytics: signal/image processing, tagging and
tracking (individuals, groups, crowd, vehicles, etc.);
+ high-level video analytics: behaviour analysis, activity recognition,
reasoning paradigms, graphical models.

Applicants research experience and qualification on computer vision and
pattern recognition/machine learning are clearly a must, and evidence of
top quality research on the above specified areas in the form of
published papers and/or patents are definitely required.

The postdoctoral position is up to 4 years starting as soon as possible
after the deadline indicated below. Candidates should have a PhD in
computer vision and/or machine learning and related areas (or at least
have submitted the thesis and awaiting the viva).
The salary will be commensurate to qualification and experience and in
line to that of the research institutes in the rest of Europe.

Further details and informal enquires can be made by email to
