Ph.D. positions within ERC project: \"Perceptually-Driven Optimizations of Graphics Content for Novel Displays\" Faculty of Informatics Ph.D. positions within ERC project: “Perceptually-Driven Optimizations of Graphics Content for Novel Displays” The Perception, Display, and Fabrication Group at the Università della Svizzera italiana(USI) in Lugano, Switzerland, is looking for highly motivated Ph.D. candidates to work at theintersection of computer graphics, novel display technologies, and visual perception withinthe ERC Starting Grant project “Perceptually-Driven Optimizations of Graphics Content forNovel Displays”. The positions are fully-funded. We offer a competitive salary in line withSwiss universities. The goal of the project is to develop new content adaptation and generation techniques forfuture displays, such that the displayed images closely match the capabilities of noveldisplay devices as well as the requirements of human perception. The approach shouldassure that the computational resources are not wasted for generating content which isirrelevant to observers, and guarantee the highest perceived quality possible. We would liketo focus on the newly emerging display technologies such as virtual reality and augmentedreality displays which allow for addressing all visual cues available in the real world. Asuccessful candidate should have: Master degree in computer science or a closely related field, a good programming and math skills, knowledge of computer graphics/vision tools, such as OpenGL, OpenCV, Matlab, fluent English, both written and spoken, a strong desire for research and publishing at top venues, an experience with deep learning frameworks will be an additional advantage. The course work and interests in one or more of the following areas are desired: computer graphics & rendering, image & video processing, new display devices (such as VR and AR), human visual perception, eye tracking, machine learning. Applications should be sent directly to Prof. Piotr Didyk ([email protected]). The subject ofthe e-mail should start with the phrase “[Application]”.The documents should include: CV, transcripts of records, a statement of purpose, contacts to 2-3 persons who agreed to write recommendation letters, a complete list of publications, if any. page 2 / 2 Perception, Display, and Fabrication Group at the USI Lugano in Switzerland conductshigh-quality research in the field of computer graphics and computer vision. Their goal is tocombine computational techniques with human perception and hardware design to createbetter display and fabrication techniques. The areas of expertise include computer graphics,new display technologies, image/video processing, 3D printing, computational fabrication,and human perception. We focus on publishing at the top computer graphics and computervision venues. Many of our works have been presented as technical papers at the ACMSIGGRAPH conference series. We expect the candidates to contribute to this success. Thegroup has several ongoing collaborations with world-leading research centers including MIT,Harvard, University of Toronto, Adobe Systems, Nvidia, and Max Planck Institute. The futuregroup members are expected to take an active part in these activities. The Faculty of Informatics at Università della Svizzera italiana is defined by its passionfor scientific research. Around 200 top researchers from around the world conduct researchin several computer science areas, with tens of millions of Swiss francs in competitivefunding obtained to date. Over the years, the Faculty has become one of the leadingresearch centers in Switzerland and an international point of reference in many fields.More information about the faculty: https://www.inf.usi.ch/en.

PhD student or Post-Doc position in molecular immunologyPhD student or Post-Doc position in molecular immunology A PhD student or Post-Doc position is available in the Molecular Immunology lab at theInstitute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) in Bellinzona, Switzerland(www.irb.usi.ch/molecular-immunology), to join projects aimed at understanding the role ofRNA-binding proteins in immunity.Have you recently obtained a Master or PhD degree in a field related to immunology ormolecular biology? Are you fluent in spoken and written English? Are you highly motivatedand excited about learning new skills and developing independent thinking? Please apply!The research topic concerns the study of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expressionin cells of the immune system, especially related to autoimmunity. The general goal is toextend our knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate immune cell differentiation andfunctions in health and disease.With access to state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant environment that favors the exchangeof knowledge and ideas through journal clubs, seminars and talks, you will have theopportunity to address mechanistic questions relevant to immune responses. The lab isfunded by the Swiss National Science Foundations (SNSF) and other grants. Salaries are inline with the recommendations of the SNSF, and preferred starting date is early 2024.Applications will be evaluated as they are received and until the position is filled.

The Institute invites applications for a fully funded Ph.D. position in management forconducting research in the SNF project entitled Exploring the effects of audience-organization linguistic alignment on access to social benefits. The project The project aims to study the effects of linguistic alignment between an organization’semployees and external stakeholders on organizational performance, using natural languageprocessing on a corpus of over 400.000 emails exchanged between a French governmentalagency in charge of distributing social benefits in France and its beneficiaries. The projectfurther includes a field experiment in partnership with the French governmental agency totest the effect of different types of linguistic content on beneficiaries’ response.
