About this position

DTU Compute and the Pioneer Centre for AI are advertising a Postdoc in 3D Perception and Spatial Understanding at the Technical University of Denmark in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. The position is hosted in the Visual Computing Lab and led by Theodora Kontogianni.

The research focus is 3D perception, spatial understanding, and computer vision, with strong links to artificial intelligence, spatial reasoning, multi-modal learning, point cloud processing, multi-view learning, neural scene representations, and foundation models for 3D environments. Applications mentioned include autonomous systems, augmented reality, embodied AI, and autonomous navigation.

This is a research-intensive postdoctoral role for a candidate who can conduct independent and collaborative work, publish in top venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, and WACV, and contribute to proposals, mentoring, and conference presentations. The lab emphasizes collaboration with academic partners locally and internationally.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD degree or equivalent in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a closely related field; strong publication record; solid programming/debugging skills in Python and/or C++; experience with PyTorch, Linux, git, conda, or docker; and strong communication and teamwork skills. Experience in embodied AI, augmented reality, or autonomous navigation is a plus.

Funding and terms: full-time appointment for 2 years, with salary and employment terms based on the Danish collective agreement and possible supplements under DTU salary structure. The post does not state a stipend amount.
