YOUR TASKS 

 

• IPI is looking for a qualified and motivated senior researcher to work on computer vision topics including sensor fusion and active vision, supervise junior researchers, and help attract new projects.  
• There is room for both fundamental theoretical research, where the emphasis is mainly on new techniques, and application-oriented research, where the emphasis is mainly on results and practical applicability. 
• You will collaborate with international industrial partners while embedded in a university research team that is internationally recognized for its extensive expertise regarding sensor fusion for autonomous driving, traffic monitoring and industrial safety.  

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 

 

• You hold a thesis-based doctorate (in e.g. Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar) with demonstrated first-class performance.  
• You should demonstrate experience in at least one specialization from the following areas: 
• A strong background knowledge of the fundamental theory underlying sensor fusion, computer vision, or related topics (including the mathematical and probability theory related aspects) – as evidenced through publications or other research achievements - is important 
• Sensor fusion: camera networks and merging data from multiple sensors (sensor fusion of RGB cameras, thermal cameras, radar, etc.) for improved object detection and classification, motion tracking models, and depth sensing 
• Algorithms and sensors on embedded systems, embedded AI 
• Other requirements: 
• Programming skills (Python, C++, etc) 
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written 
• Experience with original algorithm design that goes beyond the mere application of methods from literature is important. 
• You have the capability and mindset to flexibly adapt your research to new application challenges and are eager to learn about new topics. You have a strong vision to propose novel solutions to such challenges as well as the technical skills to develop and implement them.  

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU 

• We offer you a contract of indefinite duration with 100% employment. 
• Your contract will start on ​15/04/2024​ at the earliest. 
• Your remuneration will be determined by salary scale WM1 to WM4 (if you hold a Master’s degree) or salary scale PD1 to PD4 (if you hold a doctorate).  Click here for more information about our salary scales .
