Postdoctoral fellow in Computer Vision and Machine Learning
Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB
Forskarassistenter m.fl.

This multidisciplinary position is part of a WASP NEST (Novelty, Excellence, Synergy, Teams) project focused on advancing generative models and perceptual understanding in computer vision. The position is embedded in a vibrant research environment that includes several PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. The project is a close collaboration between the Computer Vision Group at Chalmers, the Robotics, Perception and Learning Lab at KTH, and the Department of Mathematics at KTH. It also involves active engagement with industry partners, including H&M, Volvo Cars, Zenseact, and Embellence Group. The NEST initiative supports regular joint seminars, workshops, and research visits between participating institutions, fostering a dynamic and collaborative atmosphere. About the research group The Computer Vision Group at the division of Signal processing and Biomedical Engineering develops intelligent systems for automatic image interpretation and perceptual scene understanding. Our research spans both foundational and applied topics in computer vision and machine learning, with particular strengths in inverse problems, generative models, and geometric deep learning. We work across diverse application areas, from medical imaging—where we design advanced tools for diagnosis and decision support—to general vision tasks such as autonomous navigation, image-based localization, 3D reconstruction, and object recognition. The group combines theoretical rigor with strong collaborative links to industry and academia, providing an intellectually stimulating environment for researchers interested in both deep technical challenges and real-world impact. Project overview In recent years, generative neural network models for creation of photo-realistic images have become increasingly popular. Their training results in a low-dimensional latent space representation of a distribution from which new examples can be drawn and images be generated. To be able to control and manipulate the images, one aims for a disentangled latent representation, so that different qualities of the resulting images are kept separate. For example, the shape of an object can be separated from its material properties, the viewing direction and the overall illumination. In this project, we will go one step further and develop disentangled latent representations, not just for individual objects, but for full three-dimensional scenes with multiple objects that might change over time. The goal is to provide support for operations like adding, modifying and removing objects, changing scene conditions, modelling scene dynamics, as well as automatically complete missing parts of the 3D scene. Main responsibilities Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in collaboration with other researchers within the NEST. The position also includes supervision of master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. The successful candidate will contribute to the multidisciplinary project “3D Scene Perception, Embeddings and Neural Rendering”, led by Fredrik Kahl (Computer Vision, Chalmers), Kathlén Kohn (Algebraic Geometry, KTH), and Mårten Björkman (Robotics, Perception and Learning, KTH). The research focuses on developing novel machine learning methods for scene interpretation and generative diffusion models.

PhD Position in the Characterisation of the Micromechanics of Quick Clays

We are looking for a PhD candidate fascinated by the response of quick clays that can change from solid to liquid with small environmental perturbations. We want to be able to understand how a changing environment will affect the stability of quick clays, and the probability of triggering catastrophic failures.
