Other oportunities:
Predoctoral internships, Final year projects, Master thesis, and Postdoctoral stays
Visiting the QML-CVC in a research stay or academic project
Research stays at QML-CVC
We are welcoming reasearchers on all the moments of their careers to join us and developy short-terms stays at cvc (usually comprising from a bunch of weeks to up to a few months). If you are interested, please contact directly us at fernando@cvc.uab.es. There is a CVC program for internships that candidates for research stays can benefit from, depending on their profile and the specific moment of the year (see below).
Internships
Program: CVC Talent Internship Program (3 to 6 months)
DEADLINE: Open call
Application link: https://www.cvc.uab.es/internship/
The CVC Talent Program of Internships promotes science and innovation and encourages research in highly talented young students.
The program offers undergraduate and master students an opportunity to learn about research culture, technology transfer and innovation in an international and diverse environment with more than 100 researchers from more than 20 different countries. It is a unique opportunity to experience how is it to work in a research environment. Interns will have to face specific research challenges guided by our researchers. They will be provided with high-performance computing facilities and trained in the current state-of-the-art methodologies related to computer vision at large at the same time as they participate in regular complementary activities (reading groups, seminars, etc.). Internships are addressed to both bachelor and master students. Two calls are scheduled during the year: winter and summer.
Master Thesis / Final Degree Thesis at QML-CVC
In addition to the former, students with background in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics or Quantum Information interested in developing their Final Year Project with us are welcome. Students from Master Degrees on Quantum Information and Technologies or equivalent, willing to carry out their Master Thesis at QML-CVC, are welcomed to contact us trough fernando@cvc.uab.es, and discuss a joint research project. Co-tutelles of Master Thesis with other institutions are usual at QML-CVC, and in this case, the topic of the work will be agreed among the supervisors. Usually, Master Projectw are defined by the end of the first semester. If you are interest in applying, please contact us the sooner the better to allow for proper planing. Candidates can also apply to the CVC Internships (see above) for finalcial support through a CVC grant.
