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. 

Research area or group: Image Sequence Evaluation  

Context and Mission 

The Image Sequence Evaluation research group is seeking applications to fill a support technician position focused on the development of a software prototype that aims to accurately predict lesion histology in real-time colonoscopy images and videos. The novelty of this project is the ability of the method to identify additional histological classes (serrated sessile adenomas, high- and low-grade dysplasia) that would make the support system go beyond the classic binary problem (adenomatous polyps vs. hyperplastic polyps).  

This position is linked to project “Sistema d’intel·ligència artificial per a la detecció i diagnòstic de càncer de còlon en imatge de colonoscòpia”, funded by Catalan government through the DiH4CAT initiative. 

Main responsibilities 

  • Development and validation of techniques for detecting lesions in colonoscopy images and videos. 
  • Integration of spatiotemporal tracking tools for lesions to improve the performance of lesion detection systems in colonoscopy images and videos. 
  • Development and validation of techniques for classifying polyps in static images and colonoscopy videos. 

Requirements: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer sciencer. 
  • MsC on Computer Vision. 
  • On-going PhD studies will be highly evaluated. 
  • Fluency in English 
  • Prior experience in application of Deep Learning techniques for colonoscopy image and video analysis will be highly evaluated. 

Conditions  

  • The position will be located at Computer Vision Center (Campus Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Cerdanyola del Vallès). 
  • Full-time temporary contract (4 months) 
  • Salary: 24000 € annual gross 
  • Start date: 01/09/2025 

Applications procedure and process 

All applications must be sent through the online form and include a full CV and contact details.
