Postdoc position in AR / Computer Vision / HCI, fully funded for 3 years
The newly established Human-Centered Computing and Extended Reality (HEX) Lab at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) invites applications for two positions, starting ~August 1st, 2022. Successful candidates will be embedded in a publicly funded project (subject to the approval of funds).
The HEX Lab is part of the Department Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering and the Department Computer Science at FAU. Our research centers around human-machine interfaces that improve the way we interact with, work with, and communicate through machines. Our research is situated in the area of (AI-driven) extended reality (AR, VR, MR) user interfaces in the context of physical and mental health.
About the project:
The project aim is to design and develop an AI driven assistive augmented reality system for surgical instrument manuals in the operating room using augmented reality and computer vision and thus support medical care. In close interaction with medical and industry experts, computer vision driven sensing and detection solutions as well as augmented reality visualizations and interfaces have to be developed. The overall goal is to support medical staff during surgical procedures with an assistive system. The project leaves sufficient room for the candidates to explore their own research ideas for their thesis and postdoc.
Requirements:
- PhD degree in these or related fields with an excellent dissertation/publications for Postdoc applicants
- Excellent programming skills in the areas of either AR/VR/XR (e.g. Unity3D, Unreal Engine, 3DUIs), or computer vision (e.g. deep learning, object detection, synthetic data generation), or both
- Experience of conducting design studies and/or empirical research in HCI is of benefit
- Very good English language skills in speech and writing are expected
