IDIAP is currently seeking exceptional senior researchers with a proven record of high level research, as well as project management, in the areas of speech processing and computer vision.
For details, see http://www.idiap.ch/jobs/SeniorResearcher.pdf
Activities in speech processing currently cover speech recognition (using HMMs and hybrid HMM/ANN approaches), novel feature extraction and acoustic modeling techniques, decoders for large vocabulary speech recognition systems, sound source localization and tracking (microphone arrays), speaker turn detection, etc.
Activities in computer vision currently cover object recognition, motion analysis, text recognition, detection and recognition (for faces, gestures, etc), and video indexing.
Most of these research activities take place in the framework of National long term research initiatives such as the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) on "Interactive Multimodal Information Management" (IM2, see http://www.im2.ch for more detail) or large European projects such as "Augmented Multi-party Interaction" (AMI, see http://www.amiproject.org for more detail).
Successful candidates are expected to have several years experience in the above areas, with good and practical knowledge of C/C++ and related programming languages. While still being active in research, they also have experience in project management and supervision of researchers, including PhD students. Given the links between IDIAP and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), academic careers can also be envisioned for exceptional candidates.
Interested candidates should send a letter of motivation, along with their detailed CV and names of 3 references to jobs@idiap.ch. More information can also be obtained by contacting Prof. Hervé Bourlard.
