OPENING FOR A PhD STUDENT IN IMAGE PROCESSING
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have an opening for a PhD student, starting 1st of October, for 2
years now but with the possibility of a prolongation, probably to 4
years in total. The project is funded by the Swiss National Science 
Foundation. The subject concerns the development of a multiscale image
analysis system which produces a syntactical/geometrical representation
allowing for a very precise image resynthesis. Keywords are: scale space,
2D quadrature filtering, phase responses, line/edge/vertex detection,
response interferences, ambiguities, and context processing.

The candidate *must* have followed courses in signal and image processing,
and preferably done his master's project in this domain. Some insight into
visual psychophysics and/or visual neurophysiology wouldn't be bad.
Programming: FORTRAN is a pro, C not per se, maybe some experience with
LATEX, MATHEMATICA, or MATLAB. UNIX of course.

The starting salary is about 60K SwissFR per annum, which makes somewhat
less than 4K (3750, say) net per month, depending on age.

The Signal Processing Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Tech-
nology is well equipped with powerful workstations, quite some software
packages, and for the heavy jobs we have our CRAY-2 and Y-MP on campus.
There is not a real campus because we lack student lodging (all students
and up live in Lausanne and nearby villages). Lausanne is situated at what
is called the Swiss Riviera, with a view on the Geneva lake and the French
alps. See your nearby tourist office for more details. One important
detail: Lausanne is located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
The language in the lab is English because of the many nationalities, but
we advise taking French courses which are provided by the Institute.

Send your resume and possible questions as soon as possible by snail mail,
please NOT by email because I will be off to two conferences, to:

Dr. J. du Buf
Signal Processing Laboratory
Swiss federal Institute of Technology
EPFL-Ecublens
CH-1015 Lausanne
Switzerland

If possible, provide an email address and/or fax number!
