Functioning systems in clinical and cognitive science practice typically require specialized measurement equipment that can disturb the person, so our video-based solution would be both scientifically interesting and practically useful. The project will be conducted in collaboration with researchers in perceptual neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet in Solna.\n\nSupervision: Prof. Hedvig Kjellstr\u00f6m is proposed to supervise the PhD student. The decision will be made upon admission.\n\nEligibility for Admission\nTo be admitted to research education (Chapter 7, Section 39 of the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility:\n- completed a degree at an advanced level, or\n- completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits are at an advanced level, or\n- acquired in some other way within or outside the country essentially equivalent knowledge.\n\nFor this position, the applicant must also have a Master's degree with a primary focus on machine learning, artificial intelligence, signal processing, or computer vision.\n\nIn addition to the above, there is a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B\/6.\n\nSelection\nTo succeed with your PhD studies at KTH, you need to be goal-oriented and persistent in your work. In the selection of applicants, the ability to:\n- independently drive your work forward,\n- collaborate with others,\n- maintain a professional approach, and\n- analyze and work with complex issues\n\nwill be assessed.\n\nThe applicant should have documented experience in machine learning, especially programming of deep neural networks. The applicant should have documented experience in computer vision, image processing, or signal processing.\n\nExperience with medical applications and 3D analysis of humans in video is meritorious.\n\nAfter the eligibility requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.\n\nTarget Degree: Doctoral Degree\n\nInformation on Admission and Employment\nOnly those admitted to research education may be employed as PhD students. The total employment period may not exceed what corresponds to full-time research-level education for four years. An employed PhD student may, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within, for example, education and administration. A new employment as a PhD student applies for a maximum of one year; the employment may thereafter be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. For studies to be completed with a Licentiate degree, the total employment period may not exceed what corresponds to full-time research-level education for two years.\n\nAs a PhD student, you will receive part of KTH's employment benefits and have a monthly salary according to KTH's agreement for PhD student salaries.

As an applicant, you have the main responsibility for ensuring that your application is complete when submitted.\n\nThe application should contain the following:\n- Copies of diplomas and transcripts from previous university studies and evidence of fulfilled language requirements (see above). Translations into English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages. Copies of originals must be certified.\n- CV with relevant professional experience and knowledge.\n- Motivation letter with a brief account of why you want to pursue research education, your academic interests and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Max 2 pages)\n- Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please attach a summary (abstract) and a web link to the complete text.\n\nThe application must be received by KTH no later than the last application deadline at midnight, CET\/CEST (Central European Time\/Central European Summer Time).\n\nOther\nFor information on the processing of personal data in connection with recruitment.\n\nIt may occur that an employment at KTH is placed in a security class. If this is the case for this particular position, a security check of the applicant will be conducted in accordance with the Security Protection Act (2018:585) after consent. In these cases, approval after security clearance is a requirement for employment.\n\nWe decline direct contact from staffing and recruitment companies as well as job advertisement vendors.\n\nBecome Part of KTH\nKTH shapes the future through education, research, and innovation. As a leading international technical university, we play an active role in driving and contributing to the transition to a sustainable society.
