Switzerland Open PhD positions ETH Zurich University of Basel
July 3, 2008
Applications are invited for two fully-funded PhD positions for the EU project “Similarity-based Pattern Analysis and Recognition (SIMBAD)”, which is a joint FET-STREP project involving ETH Zurich, University of Basel, Delft University of Technology (Netherlands), IST Lisbon (Portugal), University of Venice (Italy), University of Verona (Italy),and University of York (England).
The project attempts to break new ground in similarity based pattern
recognition where we will explore models and associated learning algorithms for non-Euclidean data and non-metric data situations.
Application domains of this type arise in computer vision (e.g., shape analysis), in medical image processing and in bioinformatics where often short distances can be reliably estimated but for large distances, the signal to noise ratio drops below one.
As a part of the SIMBAD project, the Swiss group, comprising of ETH
Zurich and University of Basel, will focus on structure-preserving
embeddings of non-metric data into Euclidean spaces and applications
thereof to analyze tissue Microarray images. Successful applicants will work under the supervision of Prof. Joachim Buhmann (Zurich) and Prof. Volker Roth (Basel).
We are looking for highly motivated applicants who should have a
profound knowledge in mathematical modeling and in algorithmics.
Furthermore, the project requires substantial programming skills and a genuine interest to build a decision support system for pattern
analysis. A prerequisite for starting PhD studies at ETHZ/Univ Basel are a Masters degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Mathematics or Physics. An ideal researcher will have a strong background in Statistics and Machine Learning, complemented with a solid programming experience.
Excellent oral and written communication skills would be additional
assets (English). The two positions are planned for 3 years. The salary (approx. 64000CHF/year) and conditions at ETH Zurich/University of Basel are very attractive.
Applications (preferably in electronic form) should be sent to
