The Quantum Machine Learning Group (QML-CVC) of the Computer Vision Center (CVC) of Barcelona is looking to incorporate pre-doc and post-doc researcher. The QML-CVC is an emergent multidisciplinary group, and ideal candidates should have a background in physics, mathematics and/or computer science, with experience in either quantum information & technologies, computer vision and/or machine learning.
Our research directions are in strong alignment with the expertise of the CVC, to explore the potential interplay between quantum information and Image Processing, Reinforcement Learning, Continual Learning & Generative Models, among others. We keep an eye to the social impact of quantum technologies, together with links to artistic narratives.

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.
Final Year Project 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.
