Postdoc in generative AI for recognition of human behavior - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

We are looking for a postdoc to a multi-disciplinary project in generative AI. The position is directed towards methods for fine-grained recognition of human non-verbal behavior in video using 3D models and generative AI. Together with students, these models will be applied to both medicine (recognition of early symptoms of motor and cognitive diseases) and interaction design (affect recognition, modeling of music communication).

The postdoc will be placed in the division of Robotics, Perception and Learning at KTH, a dynamic and internationally successful environment with high equality and diversity. The postdoc will participate in the daily work at the division and research group, including reading groups, seminars and co-supervision of PhD students.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
