>PostDoctoral or Senior Researcher Position in Image Analysis / 
>Pattern Recognition
>
>In the context of the German excellence initiative, the University 
>of Heidelberg invites applications for a senior research position in 
>Image Processing / Pattern Recognition for a duration of two years, 
>with possible extension.
>
>The aim is to develop methods for segmentation or pattern 
>recognition that can be trained with an absolute minimum of human 
>interaction. A possible research direction is to employ shape 
>information in the inference process, and find ways to train the 
>permissible range of shape variability with as little interaction as 
>possible. (Semi-supervised) active learning from weak labels is 
>expected to play a role in this endeavor. The successful candidate 
>is encouraged to cast his or her results into a form that is truly 
>usable for experimentalists by contributing to the ilastik project 
>(see http://www.ilastik.org ). This requires excellent programming 
>skills in templated C++ and, preferably, python.
>
>The position will be affiliated with the Heidelberg Collaboratory 
>for Image Processing (HCI) that is funded by the German Research 
>Foundation (DFG), industrial partners and the University. The 
>mission of the HCI is to conduct basic research with the aim of 
>providing cutting-edge solutions to basic image analysis problems 
>for applications in industry, environmental and life sciences.
>
>The HCI comprises five research groups (Garbe, Hamprecht, Jaehne, 
>Ommer, Schnoerr) with about 80 senior researchers, PhD students and 
>undergraduates. It is directed by a steering committee including the 
>corresponding heads and representatives of the industrial partners. 
>The HCI is part of the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR).
>
>The gross salary ranges from 36.7kEUR to 46.8kEUR (i.e. TVL/13 up to 
>TVL/14) plus social benefits, depending on qualification and experience.
>
>Applications should include a complete CV, the PhD thesis (or a link 
>to it), a list of publications, references (name, homepage), and be 
>sent by Email in PDF-format to hci@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de. The search 
>process starts now and will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

>       Outstanding candidates with relevant experience in
>       machine learning, computer vision or image processing
>
>to develop new algorithms for learning-based image analysis, with an 
>eye on possible applications such as the following:
>
>- high throughput high content image analysis
>- advanced cell tracking for developmental biology
>- advanced segmentation schemes for connectomics
>
>The HCI is currently the largest center for image processing in 
>Germany and offers a vibrant and stimulating environment. Applicants 
>are encouraged to cast their contributions into a usable and lasting 
>form via the ilastik project (see http://www.ilastik.org)
