Join the Team
Are you passionate about cutting-edge research in computer vision, machine learning, or multimedia systems? At the Center for Visual Information Technology, I am always looking for motivated individuals to join my dynamic team. Explore the opportunities below to see how you can contribute to impactful research and innovation.
Current Openings
1. PhD Students and Post-Docs
I am on the lookout for a couple of dedicated full-time PhD students and postdoctoral fellows who are eager to tackle challenging problems in:
Computer Vision
- AI and Machine Learning
- Multimedia Systems
- Document Understanding
PhD Applicants: If you aspire to contribute to cutting-edge research, please write to me directly. Highlight your areas of interest and why you wish to join my team.
Postdoctoral Fellows: A strong publication record, research experience and readiness to collaborate are key criteria. I value teamwork and the ability to contribute to ongoing projects. Reach out if you align with my research areas and goals.
2. MS Students
IIIT Hyderabad offers multiple pathways for MS admissions. If your interests align with:
- Computer Vision
- Machine Learning
- Language Processing
- Multimedia Processing
A commitment to producing high-quality thesis work is essential. I encourage prospective students to review the research and publications of my alumni before reaching out.
3. Research Engineer
We occasionally take some engineers for projects involving significant development and engineering. If you’re passionate about building research systems around AI, join my engineering team to complement our research efforts. Proficiency in programming and design is critical for consideration. If you are new to engineering and planning to develop your career, you may apply as “Jr Engineer”
4. Research Fellow
Today Pre-Docs or Research Fellows or Long-term Interns have become a promising alternative for deeply getting
into research.
I welcome recent graduates and students for long-term (1-2 years) research roles. These positions focus on:
Technically challenging problems leading to publications/patents
Societally relevant challenges (preferably in the Indian context) leading to solutions
Prospective candidates should discuss motivation and experience/skills, outlining their interests and how working at CVIT will support their aspirations.
Important Notes
- Summer/Winter Internships: Due to time constraints, I rarely accept short-term internships. Exceptional cases are rare.
- Remote Projects: I do not encourage remote collaborations as I value the collaborative lab environment.
- Part-time/Weekend Work: Experience shows these arrangements are not productive, so I do not entertain them.
How to Apply
Include the following details in your email:
- Your CV, covering your experience, skils and academic records
- Proposed start and end dates
- Your motivation for joining CVIT
- Your long-term career goals
Please address emails to me with the subject line: [Joining Your Team - Role Number; Role Name]. Due to the high volume of applications, I may not respond to all emails.
FAQ
Q: Can I apply for a PhD with only a Bachelor’s degree? A: Yes, bright candidates with strong academic records are welcome to apply.
Q: Do you offer remote internships or projects? A: No, I believe in the value of in-person collaboration and peer learning in my lab.
Q: Can I join the lab as a part-time researcher while working nearby? A: Unfortunately, such arrangements have not been effective in the past.
Q: Can I request a recommendation after working for just 3-4 months? A: Recommendations are based on substantial contributions, typically requiring longer commitments.
