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.

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. We offer access to unique experimental facilities and computational tools developed by our research team for addressing a timely societally relevant problem. Project overview The aim is to unravel the mechanisms, and time scales involved at particle scale, for the formation and failure of quick clays. A novel combination of miniaturised thermal-hydro-mechanical experiments and particle level modelling will be pursued to unravel the unique mechanisms that make quick clays so hazardous and at the same time so special. The originality of the experiments is in the combination of X-ray based scattering and imaging methods to monitor the changes at the particle scale during testing. Research environment Geotechnics research at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering focuses on the characterisation and modelling of complex geomaterials, particularly natural clays. Our work bridges fundamental understanding with advanced modelling and testing capabilities, applied to real-world engineering challenges. We are internationally recognised for our expertise in experimental testing and numerical modelling of natural clays at both laboratory and field scale.

At Chalmers University of Technology, we are committed to developing innovative technologies and methods that address some of today's most pressing societal challenges. One of the most critical global issues is health, as millions of people continue to suffer from diseases and chronic conditions. At our university, more than 200 scientists are actively engaged in research aimed at tackling a wide range of health-related challenges—from fundamental biomedical questions to translational technologies. This postdoctoral project is an integral part of that mission, contributing to the understanding of neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. Project overview We are seeking a qualified postdoctoral researcher to join a collaborative and interdisciplinary project investigating the mechanisms behind synaptic dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. The position is part of a joint effort between multiple departments at our university and combines advanced biosensor technology, novel model systems, biophysical research on protein aggregation, and state-of-the-art imaging techniques. We anticipate this postdoctoral fellowship will contribute to impactful research in the field of neurodegeneration. The project focuses on how toxic protein aggregates impair synaptic transmission. This will be studied using amperometric nanotip biosensors fabricated in our lab. You will also take part in developing new model systems to examine how protein aggregation affects vesicular neurotransmission. The project involves close collaboration with a partnering lab, particularly with a postdoctoral researcher specializing in protein chemistry and advanced imaging. Main responsibilities • Fabrication and characterization of enzyme-based nanotip biosensors • Culturing differentiated neuronal cells in vitro • Performing synaptic amperometric measurements to assess neurotransmitter release in cells exposed to toxic protein aggregates • Collaborating with project partners to develop in vitro model systems for synaptic transmission and study the impact of protein aggregation About the division The Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry consists of approximately 100 researchers, including PhD students and postdocs. Research at the division spans physical chemistry, organic chemistry, nanotechnology, and analytical chemistry. This project specifically involves the fabrication of nanostructured enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors, which are used to study neurochemical activity at individual neuronal synapses and to develop advanced synaptic model systems. Qualifications Required: • A PhD degree (awarded no more than three years before the application deadline*) within Neuroscience or Chemistry, preferentially with research experience in neurochemistry and electrochemistry.  • Experience with ultrafast amperometric recordings (in the kHz range) to study single-cell exocytosis • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English. Desirable: • Prior research in biosensor fabrication • Background in neurodegenerative disease research * The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service.

We are looking for a PhD candidate fascinated in modelling erosion processes in sensitive clay slopes. The highly sensitive clays, called quick clays, can change from solid to liquid with small environmental perturbations. We want to be able to understand how a changing environment will accelerate toe erosion thus affecting the stability of sensitive clay slopes, probably triggering catastrophic failures. We offer access to unique experimental data and computational tools developed by our research team for addressing a timely societally relevant problem. Project overview The aim is to unravel the role of toe erosion in triggering landslides in sensitive clays. The focus will be on developing computational models that will quantify the erosion mechanisms, precursors and the time to failure. This will be achieved by combining advanced constitutive models that capture the rate-dependent (creep and porewater pressure) response of sensitive clays with erosion models enabling system-level studies. Research environment Geotechnics research at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering focuses on the characterisation and modelling of complex geomaterials, particularly natural clays. Our work bridges fundamental understanding with advanced modelling and testing capabilities, applied to real-world engineering challenges. We are internationally recognised for our expertise in experimental testing and numerical modelling of natural clays at both laboratory and field scale. We are active members of the ALERT Geomaterials network and other international committees. Our diverse and international team of over 15 full-time researchers offers a stimulating and supportive environment to learn and grow. Your profile Required qualifications: • Undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering or a related topic, with strong emphasis on Hydraulics and Geomechanics • Genuine interest in modelling erosion processes in sensitive clay slopes and willingness to work with simulations at boundary value level to enable system-level analyses • Fluency in spoken and written English which is our working language • Willingness to learn Swedish, as necessary for providing teaching support at undergraduate level • Experience in programming   Merits: • Experience in modelling erosion problems • Understanding of critical state soil mechanics, elasto-plastic and elasto-viscoplastic models • Experience in numerical analyses (using finite elements) of geotechnical problems, in particular coupled flow-deformation analyses and/or modelling erosion processes Main responsibilities • Conduct independent research and research training (80%) • Support education and other departmental activities (20%) • Engage in potential international collaborations and secondments • Participate in PhD, pedagogical, and language courses (e.g. through Nordic Five Tech or ALERT Geomaterials) Contract terms The position is a four-year appointment, with the possibility of extension up to five years through teaching (maximum 20%). What we offer • Fully funded PhD position from the start • Starting salary of 34,550 SEK/month (valid from 25 May 2025) We offer a unique opportunity for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join a team at the forefront of modelling erosion of natural clay slopes.
