PhD applicants can apply via:
For 2026, please only apply through IMPRS-IS- International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS)
- ELLIS PhD & Postdoc Program (ELLIS)
- Directly contact us via email
PhD applicants should have:
- Strong mathematical background
- Strong programming skills one of (C++, Python, MATLAB)
- Experience working with 3D meshes and knowledge on 3D tools is desired but a not must (e.g. OpenGL)
- Knowledge/experience in deep learning
- Strong interest in our research areas
PhD students will work on cutting edge research at the intersection between vision, graphics and learning. Research will require knowledge of deep learning, geometry processing and computer vision.
PhD students: will be enrolled as at University of Tuebingen and will work at Tuebingen AI Center. This means spending 3-4 exciting years in Cyber-Valley: Europe's largest research consortium in the field of artificial intelligence.Visiting PhD students: should be enrolled in a PhD program already. Duration is typically 6 months.
PostDoc Positions
