IDEAS NCBR Sp. z o.o. is a research and development centre operating in the field of artificial intelligence and digital economy, whose mission is to support the development of these technologies in Poland by creating a platform that connects the academic and business environments.

IDEAS NCBR Sp. z o.o. is a part of the National Center for Research and Development (NCBR Group). Our goal is to build in Poland the largest, friendly to conduct innovative research platform, to educate a new generation of scientists focused on the practical application of the developed algorithms and their subsequent commercialization in the industry, finance, medicine and other branches of the economy.

At IDEAS NCBR, we are constantly on the lookout for new talent. If you are a student or graduate of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline and would like to pursue a career in research, then share your plans with us by applying for this position. As a team member, you will have the opportunity to work with many authorities in the field of artificial intelligence in the team led by Dr. Przemyslaw Musialski, Assoc. Prof.

With expertise in diverse areas such as geometric modeling, geometry processing, computational fabrication, and machine learning, we strive to create algorithmic solutions for digital content generation. Our research efforts are dedicated to revolutionizing content creation, geometry generation, realistic rendering, and physical simulations in applications ranging from computer games and movie productions to virtual reality and 3D design.

As a part of our group, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects, publish in top-tier conferences and journals, and collaborate with a diverse team of experts.

Geometric modeling involves the creation, representation, and manipulation of 2D and 3D shapes, serving as a fundamental tool in various fields such as computer-aided design (CAD), architecture, animation, virtual reality, and industrial manufacturing.

We are offering an exciting Ph.D. research opportunity in the field of geometric modeling using implicit neural representations. This interdisciplinary project aims to leverage the power of neural networks and implicit representations to improve the way we model and manipulate complex 3D shapes.

 

DESCRIPTION OF YOUR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES:

You will carry out research and development work related to issues such as:

  • develop innovative neural network architectures tailored for geometric modeling tasks;
  • investigate techniques for shape generation, reconstruction, editing, and deformation using implicit neural representations;
  • explore shape analysis and understanding, including classification, segmentation, and recognition, using implicit neural representations;
  • collaborate with experts from related fields to apply implicit neural representations in practical applications like virtual reality, digital fabrication, or medical imaging;
  • disseminate your research findings through publications, conference presentations, and open-source software implementations.

Your work will be research-focused with minimal teaching responsibilities,

  • teaching a minimum of 60 hours per year.

THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

  • a strong background in computer science, applied mathematics, or related disciplines;
  • proficiency in machine learning, computer graphics, or computer vision is advantageous but not required;
  • strong programming skills;
  • proactive approach to solving scientific problems and issues;
  • strong analytical and critical thinking skills;
  • ability to work in a team;
  • fluency in English.

We would be pleased to see in your application:

  • references with min. 1 contact to people, who can recommend you.

WE OFFER:

  • contract of employment;
  • working with high-level scientific staff in an international environment;
  • flexible working hours in a hybrid system;
  • private medical care;
  • participation in the Medicover Benefits program and co-financing tickets for cultural events;
  • a real influence on the creation of the company's structure and culture;
  • remuneration including doctoral scholarship: approx. PLN 12,000 gross;
  • an innovation bonus in the form of a share in the benefits from the future commercialisation of the research project results as additional remuneration. The bonus, depending on the model adopted for the commercialisation of the results of the research project, may take the form of:
    • entitlement to a share of IDEAS NCBR's income from the commercialisation of the results of the work (in particular in the form of licences or disposal of intellectual property rights) or,
    • entitlement to subscribe for shares or stocks in a spin-out company commercialising such solutions,
  • sponsoring a doctoral school in Poland and abroad;
  • budget for travel to the best scientific conferences and for, internships and study visits;
  • participation in research and development projects implementing the latest solutions in the field of artificial intelligence;
  • a competence development programme and conducting research with the help of experienced scientists;
  • support in accommodation for the duration of stay at IDEAS NCBR headquarter (PhD students from outside Warsaw).

PLEASE ATTACH THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS WHEN APPLYING:

  • curriculum vitae;
  • summary of professional accomplishments, including the description of research, interests;
  • name of the doctoral school enrolled to IDEAS NCBR program together with the research topic from the list published by us,
  • research project description should be prepared accordingly to our guideline.
