Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Computer vision, AI, machine learning (2 years)
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology: Postdoc Positions: Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering Division (postdoc)

**Location**:

KAUST, Thuwal 23955, KSA

**Open Date**:

Oct 02, 2021

**Description***:
The Computer Vision-Core Artificial Intelligence Research (Vision-CAIR) group led by Prof. Mohamed Elhoseiny at the CS Program of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is looking for postdoctoral researchers in the area of computer vision, AI, and machine learning. The initial appointment will be for **2 years** with a possible extension with a tentative start date in **January 2022 **but may also start earlier. KAUST offers competitive/generous postdoc compensations.

The Research Vision-CAIR group performs research and develops computational approaches in the following research themes:

- (**a) learning efficiency, computational creativity **(zero, few-shot, and long-tail learning of 2D and 3D vision tasks. This also includes efficient generative models that are capable of generating and understanding unseen art and fashion in 2D and 3D);
- **(b) continual learning** (e.g., alleviating catastrophic forgetting in various learning settings including recognition RL);
- **(c) vision and language** (this overlaps with the former themes as 2D and 3D vision is often integrated with language).
