Jobs

We are constantly seeking candidates with a strong interest in performing cutting-edge research in a very active and exciting research area.

Please send PhD or postdoc applications with all supporting materials to contact@vision.rwth-aachen.de.

We accept HiWi applications from students via applications@vision.rwth-aachen.de. In your application, we expect to see a CV, a transcript of grades, and (optionally) a code repository (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) where you can show us your coding skills. Please do NOT send us attachments—send a link instead (use a hosting service like GigaMove, Google Drive, Dropbox, Sciebo etc.). <!--- Our group cannot host internships by students from outside RWTH. Please refrain from sending us internship applications. Internship application emails will not be read and will not be answered.

Please also note, we can not offer any Hiwi positions to people who don't live and reside in Germany. Ideally, the student should be enrolled at RWTH Aachen University, as the Hiwi jobs are not offered remotely, but in person. ---> Below is a list of student job openings:

LLMs for 3D/2D Scene Understanding

Last updated: 2025-03-28

Overview:

I am looking for HiWis to help with my research. Based on my current project, I would like to find a person who would be interested in working on a research topic that is related to LLMs and 3D segmentation. The position is aimed for people who want to get into research. I offer mentorship, membership in a small team and resources for the research. Your main goal would be to write a research publication, and to get experience. I don't mind if your grades are not great, but I care about the speed and quality of your work. Be prepared for some simple coding during the interview and for a short exam on AML, ML, CV, CV2 topics.

Requirements:

Very good Linux skills;
Enrolled in a master program in RWTH;
Preferably in a Computer Science programm;
Scientific writing skills required;
I would prefer you to have good grades;
Research experience is a plus;
A completed seminar or a proseminar from our lab is a big plus.
Technical Skills: PyTorch or jax; tensorflow is not relevant, opencv is not relevant.

Responsibilities:

Do research.

To apply:

Send your application, that contains: 1. Your CV; 2. An example of scientific text written by you in english (must be a pdf compiled from latex); 3. Current transcript; 4. A short email message stating your motivation for applying.

Research Engineer for 3D Computer Vision (HiWi)

Last updated: 12.06.2024

We are seeking a talented and motivated student passionate about 3D Computer Vision to join our team.

Responsibilities:

Implement and evaluate new ideas in close collaboration with our team.
Optionally contribute your own ideas.

Requirements:

Exceptional programming skills (preferably in Python).
Experience with a deep learning framework (preferably PyTorch).
Basic to good understanding of linear algebra and statistics.
Comfortable working in a Linux/Unix command-line environment.

What We Offer:

10-19 hours per week.
Flexible working hours.
Access to GPUs.

This position is for a research student and not for a Master’s thesis. However, if you plan to start your thesis in the next 6-12 months, this is a great opportunity to get to know us and the field, and find an interesting topic for your thesis.

To apply:

Student Projects in Human Pose Estimation (Project/Thesis only, Start ca. 09/2025)

Overview

Do you want to work on cutting-edge research with the goal of publishing top-tier papers? Depending on your profile and open capacities, I will choose a topic with you from the field of human-pose estimation. I currently cooperate with one of RWTH's big industry partners.

Possible open projects include - activity recognition/forecasting in special environments (dancing, scuba diving, microgravity etc.) - scene graphs in dynamic environments with humans - virtual dolly zoom and depth estimation for fisheye cameras

I am also interested in computer graphics, applications of sketches and drawings in image/video/3D generation as well as sensor data analysis (engineering & physics, for ex. rocket engineering or particle physics) etc. I do not offer projects myself here, but if you have a clever idea or are looking for a co-supervisor in these fields, do not hesitate to contact me.

B. Sc. and M. Sc. students will be given a research & implementation task. Based on your own re-implementation of one or several papers, you will... --> [B. Sc.] analyze the results and put them into scientific context (duration: 3-4 months + preparation time) --> [M. Sc.] try to solve an open research problem by combining or extending algorithms and inventing novel solutions (duration: 6 months + preparation time) Please note that not all projects are suitable for B. Sc. thesis projects.

Requirements

Good (theoretical and applied) background in Machine Learning and/or Computer Vision (Good grades in ML, CV and math exams)
Prior experience with Python, especially PyTorch, and PyTorch Lightning
Strong coding skills in general (clean, object-oriented coding style using Unittests), experience in software engineering is a plus
Basic Linux skills
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g. Git, GitHub)
Good communication skills (German is a plus, very good English is a must)
Open to work closely and cooperatively in a friendly team :)

To apply

Send your application with documents (Current CV, Bachelor/Master transcript and letter of motivation) to Stephanie Käs: kaes@vision.rwth-aachen.de.
