ABOUT CVC

The Computer Vision Center (CVC) is a non-profit research center established in 1995 by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). Its mission is to carry out cutting-edge research that has the highest international impact in the field of computer vision. It also promotes the transference of knowledge to industry and society.

Computer vision is an exciting research area and an omnipresent technology, essentially empowering machines with the sense of vision. The CVC is a successful marriage between knowledge and innovation. In addition to our cutting-edge scientific achievements, we have established lasting ties with industrial partners and created several spin-off companies.

CONTEXT AND MISSION

We are seeking a postdoc to join the Quantum Machine Learning team (QML-CVC) in beautiful Barcelona.

The QML-CVC team (https://qml.cvc.uab.es/) is part of the Computer Vision Center at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona; the CVC is a center with over 150 persons working machine learning and computer vision research.

The position is for 3 to 3.5 years, starting asap, focused on ‘Quantum Machine Learning’, with the objective of investigating hybrid classical-quantum and quantum inspired algorithms. The tasks will include the design and implementation of explorative research pathways for general problems related to machine learning and computer vision. Specific research lines can be defined in collaboration with the supervisor, with potential avenues including generative models, optimization tasks, or other specific applications.

The candidate will work in the context of the project ML-QSIM, a 4-year, 2M€ project funded by the Spanish Government, within a multidisciplinary team in collaboration with 3 most relevant institutions for the Spanish Research Council (CSIC): Centro de Investigación en Nanomateriales y Nanotecnología (CINN) in Asturias, Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón (INMA), and the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM). Particularly, this will allow the validation of the research results in the Rydberg platform to be implemented during the lifetime of the project.

For informal inquiries, email me (fernando@cvc.uab.es).

This contract will be part of project I+D+i grant AIA2025-163435-C43, funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/.
