The Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences, University of
Ljubljana, Slovenia is looking for a strong candidate to join the
Computer Vision Laboratory as a Post-Doctoral fellow to work with Prof.
Peter Peer. Specifically, in problems related to deep learning in
computer vision and biometrics applicable to deepfake detection,
explainability, and synthetic data. The work will be done jointly with
the Laboratory for Machine Intelligence (Prof. Vitomir Štruc).

This opening is in response to the 2023 SMASH (machine learning for
science and humanities) MSCA postdoctoral program (co-funded by Marie
Sklodowska Curie Actions), which aims to sponsor high-quality
postdoctoral projects in a few selected universities. More details may
be found on https://smash.ung.si/open-call-2/. Note that the candidate
needs to prepare a short (10 pages) research proposal for the nomination
(after being shortlisted by the supervisor following an interview).
Shortlisted candidate(s) will be nominated for the SMASH PostDoc funding
scheme and upon successfully securing funds will be enrolled in the
program. The program includes a two-year position, excellent working
conditions, access to top infrastructure (including the HPC Vega),
substantial research and travel funds and a salary that is significantly
higher than local costs of living.

Interested candidates in joining the program are invited to send the
following application documents as one PDF file to
peter.peer@fri.uni-lj.si by September 28 2023:

• Cover letter briefly describing the motivation for the application.
• Detailed CV highlighting experience in computer vision, biometrics,
and deep learning including strong prior publications in top journals
and conferences.
• The names and contact details of at least two referees willing to
provide support letters.

Female candidates and candidates from other underrepresented groups in
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are especially encouraged to
apply. For any questions, please contact the academic supervisor:

Prof. Dr. Peter Peer
