Occasionally, we have formal PostDoc openings posted on the official TU Darmstadt career portal, where you can apply directly.
Even if there are no formal PostDoc openings posted, we still invite recent or soon-to-be PhD graduates with similar research interests to apply via our application form. A strong publication record in the top vision and/or learning conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) is a prerequisite.
We are looking for PhD students with excellent analytical skills who are highly motivated, curious, and creative. PhD applicants should have a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in computer science, mathematics, or a closely related field with an outstanding academic record. Most important are a strong mathematical foundation and hands-on experience implementing and rigorously evaluating computational methods. Prior research experience as well as a background in computer vision and/or machine learning are a plus, as is a good working knowledge of probability and statistics. We do not require knowledge of German, but expect strong English skills.
The main routes to a PhD position in our lab are the ELLIS PhD Program and formal openings. We regularly recruit PhD students through the ELLIS PhD Program. The application deadlines are always in the fall of each year. If you are interested in joining us through the ELLIS PhD Program, please apply there directly and list Stefan Roth and/or Simone Schaub-Meyer as potential advisor(s). Occasionally, we also post formal PhD openings on the official TU Darmstadt career portal, where you can apply directly.
Even without a formal opening, exceptional candidates are welcome to apply via our application form. In any case, please familiarize yourself with our lab’s research and recent publications before applying, and explain in your application why our lab fits your research interests. Generic cover letters and mass applications will not be considered.
If you are interested in joining TU Darmstadt for a Master’s degree, please do not contact us, but rather apply directly after having informed yourself about the degree programs and admissions criteria. If you are interested in focusing on computer vision and machine learning, you should consider the focused Master’s program in AI & Machine Learning (taught in English), the Master’s program in Computer Science with specialization in Visual Computing (taught in English), or the Master’s program in Informatik (taught in German). Note that TU Darmstadt itself does not offer funding for Master’s students, however outstanding candidates can apply for a scholarship through the Zuse School ELIZA after they have been admitted by TU Darmstadt.
(for TU Darmstadt students only)
If you are already enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program at TU Darmstadt and would like to work on a thesis project in computer vision or machine learning with us, please refer to the topics posted on our website and get in touch with the person offering the specific topic. If you are interested in another topic that falls within our group’s scope, please apply via the application form. Since most topics require prior knowledge of vision and learning, we strongly encourage interested students to take at least some of the relevant computer vision and machine learning classes at TU Darmstadt.
(for Darmstadt area students only)
If you are interested in a student assistant (HiWi) position, please apply via the application form. Since most topics require prior knowledge of vision and learning, interested students should have taken at least some of the relevant computer vision and machine learning classes at TU Darmstadt.
We do not offer paid or unpaid short-term internships (1-3 months). Please do not contact us regarding internship opportunities in our lab; unfortunately, we are unable to reply to such requests.
