PhD positions in Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Graphics (University of Bath)

PhD position in machine learning, computer vision and graphics
Department of Computer Science, University of Bath, Bath, UK
Applications are invited for fully-funded, 4-year PhD positions in machine learning, computer vision, and computer graphics at the University of Bath.
The prospective PhD student will work with Dr. Kwang In Kim (https://people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~kkim/) designing new machine learning algorithms to face challenges in computer vision and graphics.
Currently, we are focusing on developing large-scale, semi-supervised, and active learning algorithms for graphics and vision applications, e.g., organizing media collections into semantically meaningful representations, and using these to allow easier search, exploration, editing, and content creation.
Applicants must have a degree in computer science, mathematics, or statistics and have excellent mathematical skills. High proficiency in Matlab, C, or C++ is desired. Having experienced with an MSc project in machine learning, vision, graphics, or any related areas is a plus.
Applicants may be from anywhere in the world but they must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work or studies) in the UK for more than 12 months in the previous 3 years.
The fellowship should start in September/October 2016.
The formal application that includes CV and Statement of Purpose has to be submitted by the 30th June 2016.
However, interested candidates should send 1) a CV and 2) academic transcripts to Kwang In Kim (k.kim AT bath.ac.uk) by the 23th June so that he can help the candidates preparing the formal application.
Please include [PhD] in the subject line.
