The Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY has openings for postdoctoral associates and Ph.D. students in the areas of causal learning for computer vision. For the postdoctoral associates, we are seeking candidates with significant knowledge and experience in structural causal learning and inference using probabilistic graphical models (PGMs). For Ph.D. students, we are interested in highly motivated applicants with strong math background, programming skills, and strong interests in the research areas. Prior knowledge in PGMs and computer vision is a plus. The postdocs and Ph.D. students will develop new deep causal learning and inference methods, based on combining deep learning with causal learning, to scale up the causal structure learning and inference, and to learn interpretable, fair, and domain-invariant causal representations for various predictive tasks in computer vision.

The postdoc positions are available immediately and the Ph.D positions will be available starting from this summer. The openings will be available for multiple years. If interested, please send your CV to Prof. Qiang Ji at jiq@rpi.edu . Further information about current projects at ISL may be found at http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/~qji
