About the position

The Postdoctoral Associate position in the Media Lab's Camera Culture Group offers an exciting opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning. This role is designed for individuals who are passionate about exploring advanced topics such as 3D imaging, Neural Radiance Fields (NERF), high-level vision, supervised learning, reinforcement learning, health imaging, and the development of novel computational sensors. As a member of a highly collaborative team, you will be expected to conduct independent research that contributes to the broader computer vision community. In this position, you will have the chance to publish and present your findings, thereby disseminating your research to peers and stakeholders in the field. Collaboration is a key aspect of this role; you will work alongside professors from various institutions, engage with private industry partners, and potentially collaborate with government research sponsors to secure funding for innovative projects. Your responsibilities will also include mentoring graduate students, helping to identify promising research projects, and contributing to the overall advancement of the team's research agenda. This is a full-time temporary position that allows for a hybrid work environment, providing flexibility while maintaining a strong focus on collaborative research efforts. The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of extension based on funding availability and the progress of your research initiatives.
