The computational vision research group, headed by Dr. Thomas Serre at Brown University, has an opening for a research assistant and/or a postdoctoral fellow to work in the area of computer vision and deep learning. The applicant will have the opportunity to develop state-of-the-art machine vision algorithms and join various multi-disciplinary projects ranging from evolutionary biology to behavioral and developmental science.

Candidates are expected to have a strong background in modern computer vision and machine learning methods and a solid experience with modern deep learning libraries (tensorflow).  An interest in biology and applications of computer vision to the biological sciences would also be a plus but is not a requirement for the position. The start date is negotiable though an early start is strongly preferred. Salary is commensurate with experience and is competitive.

Research group: Information about Dr. Serre and his research group can be found at http://serre-lab.clps.brown.edu. Through Brown’s Center for Computation and Visualization (https://www.ccv.brown.edu), our group has access to a state-of-the-art computing facility with includes over 300K GPU cores and over 500 Teraflops of GPU computing power.  

Application: Please send your applications by email to thomas_serre@correct_university_name.edu where ‘correct_university_name’ should be replaced by ‘brown’. Please include a brief statement of interests and a curriculum vita (no letters of reference required at this stage). There is no deadline for the application but applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible as the position will be filled as soon as a suitable applicant is found.
