We are looking for multiple outstanding candidates (PhD/Postdoc, fully-funded) in our ERC Starting Grant project (HARMONY) that focuses on cutting-edge research in visual computing (see our press release for more details). The overarching aim of HARMONY is to understand commonalities in visual data (e.g. images, videos, 3D shapes), while relating these to underlying fundamental principles…
