PhD student position in geometric deep learning

2 weeks ago

Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

Are you driven by the challenge of advancing the boundaries of machine learning and computer vision? Join the Computer Vision Group as a PhD student, and be at the forefront of groundbreaking research in 3D scene analysis and generative diffusion models.

Project description

This PhD position offers an opportunity to delve into the area of geometric deep learning within the broader landscape of machine learning and 3D computer vision.

As a candidate, you'll have the chance to develop theoretical concepts and innovative methodologies while contributing to real-world imaging applications.

Moreover, you will enjoy working in a diverse, collaborative, supportive and internationally recognized environment.


The PhD project centers on understanding and improving deep learning methods for 3D scene analysis and 3D generative diffusion models.

We aim to explore new ways of encoding symmetries in deep learning models in order to scale up computations, a necessity for realizing truly 3D generative models for general scenes.

We aim to explore the application of these models in key problems involving novel view synthesis and self-supervised learning.

The research group
The Computer Vision Group conducts research in the field of automatic image interpretation and perceptual scene understanding.

The group targets both medical applications, such as the development of new and more effective methods and systems for analysis, support, and diagnostics, as well as general computer vision applications including autonomously guided vehicles (particularly self-driving cars), image-based localization, structure-from-motion, and object recognition.

The main research problems include mathematical theory, algorithms, and machine learning (deep learning) for inverse problems in artificial intelligence, as well as application to medical problems.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies.

You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing, both in Swedish and in English.

The position also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 percent of working hours.

Qualifications

To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field (physics, mathematics or computer science).

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.

We offer
Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.
