PhD Student Position in 3D-Model Reconstruction and Computer Vision
Open position for a PhD student in the area of 3D-model reconstruction and computer vision.
This position is for an Early Stage Researcher in the project GoCARB - Type 1 Diabetes Self-
Management and Carbohydrate Counting: A Computer Vision based Approach, a Marie
Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways grant funded by the European
Commission's Seventh Framework Programme.
The aim of GoCARB is the design, development and evaluation of a system which will permit
the automatic, near real-time recognition of the different types of foods on a plate and the
estimation of their content of carbohydrates. In addition, this information will be used to
optimise the calculation of the bolus insulin dose. The ultimate objective is to have an
application running on a portable device which can be used in everyday life to support the
diabetic patient during carbohydrate counting and insulin dose estimation in a precise, easy
and flexible manner. GoCARB involves two European partners (1 university and 1 industrial
partner) and one associated partner (1 industrial partner).
Description
The candidate will be part of the Diabetes Technology Research group and will work with a
team of engineers, computer scientists, physicians and nutritionists on the development and
evaluation of the application, which will permit the detection and recognition of food on the
plate and the estimation of the corresponding carbohydrate content.
The candidates need to have background and interest in computer science with emphasis in
computer graphics and 3D reconstruction from images and video. They must have strong
interest to perform excellent research in a multidisciplinary environment. The candidates must
have a university degree (M.Sc. level) in electrical and computer engineering or computer
science. In addition, they must have background in mathematics and computer programming.
Applicants may not have resided in Switzerland for more than 12 months in the last 36 months
(Marie Curie eligibility rule). The candidate will be affiliated with the University of Bern as PhD
student. The position is funded for three years and a two-year secondment in Germany is
scheduled.
Applications should include a letter of interest, a detailed curriculum vitae, and two letters of
recommendation. The review of applications will begin at the end of November and the search
will continue until the position is filled.
