\"\"<\/a>Several Ph.D. Scholarships are actually available within the Perceiving Systems Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in T\u00fcbingen, Germany.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The topics are in the areas of action recognition, object detection, and human pose estimation. For an overview of related research, see\u00a0http:\/\/www.vision.ee.ethz.ch\/~gallju<\/a>.
\nThe initial appointment will be for 2 years, in accordance with the German salary standards (TV\u00f6D), and is renewable. The target starting date is May 2012.<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe Institute studies perception, action and learning from molecules to machines and has research centers in T\u00fcbingen and Stuttgart. The Perceiving Systems Department is located in T\u00fcbingen together with the Empirical Inference Department of Prof. Bernhard Sch\u00f6lkopf, the robotics research of Prof. Stefan Schaal and the renowned MPI for Biological Cybernetics. The Max Planck Institutes in T\u00fcbingen represent an exceptional research environment in which scientists from a wide range of fields including computer vision, machine learning, robotics, neuroscience, and cognitive science collaborate. A full range of state- of-the-art equipment will be available, including novel 3D and 4D scanning systems, multi-camera video capture, and a large compute cluster.
\nT\u00fcbingen is a beautiful and lively medieval town with a large university population. Located in southern Germany, at the edge of the Swabian Jura, the surrounding country is characterized by rolling hills, forests, river valleys, historic towns, and extensive walking and biking trails. The quality of life is excellent.<\/p>\n

Please send your application including cover letter, CV, publication list (if available), and contact details of one professional referee to: Dr. Juergen Gall, gall@vision.ee.ethz.ch.http:\/\/www.vision.ee.ethz.ch\/~gallju\/<\/a>
\nThe Max Planck Society is trying to increase the percentage of women in scientific staff positions and strongly encourages applications from qualified women. The Society is also committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.
