FULL TIME PhD POSITION, ANALYSIS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS FOR AFFECTI= VE  COMPUTING, UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA, SWITZERLAND


CONTEXT

The CVML - Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory (http://vision.u= nige.ch)  and its Multimodal Interaction Group
(http://vision.unige.ch/MMI) are=  looking  for a PhD student in the field of physiological signals analysis and=  
human-computer interaction. The general goal of the project is to use=   information derived from non-invasive physiological
measurements to b= etter  taylor computer interfaces.

The CVML conducts research in stochastic signal/image processing, dat= a-hiding,  content-based multimedia indexing and retrieval,
multimodal interacti= on.  Research is sponsored by various organisms (Swiss, European, private)= , and is  conducted within the
Computer Science Center of the University of Gen= eva 
(http://cui.unige.ch) which hosts about 150 researchers.

Within the CVML, the Multimodal Interaction Group is interested in de= veloping  various forms of non-standard interaction:
audio-haptic (for visually=  impaired  persons), and using physiological signals (brain-computer interaction= ,  affect-based
interaction). Work is performed in cooperation with vari= ous other  teams, within and outside of Switzerland.


POSITION REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate should hold a MSc degree in computer/engineering = science,  with strong emphasis on: statistical signal
processing, analysis and=   classification, preferably on physiological signals such as EEG, ECG,=  EMG;  audio/image/video
processing and analysis.

The position is full-time, and includes participation to the teaching=  activities  of the Computer Science Department (roughly 1
day/week or less on ave= rage).

Starting date is as soon as possible.

Due to the international character of the laboratory, English is usua= lly used as  a working language; good knowledge of written
and spoken English is m= andatory.  French is the spoken language in Geneva. Knowledge of French will be = an asset;  otherwise
it is expected that the hired person would learn French in = a  reasonable amount of time in order to participate to the teaching
act= ivities.

Geneva (http://www.geneva.ch) is a city noted for its quality of life=  and  international character. About a third of Geneva
residents are foreig= ners; this  is reflected in the composition of University of Geneva's population=   (http://www.unige.ch).
France is just a few miles away, and most Euro= pean cities  just a few hours away be it by train of plane.


ENQUIRIES AND APPLICATIONS

Enquiries and applications should be sent to:

Dr. Karim ANSARI-ASL
Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory Department of Computer Science, University of Geneva 24, rue du General Dufour, CH-1211
Geneva 4 SWITZERLAND
E-mail: Karim.Ansari.AT.cui.unige.ch

Applications should include a curriculum vitae and two letters of ref= erence. The  applicant should understand that the referees
