Open positions
The Biomedical Image Computing Group (BMIC) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral researcher position in the area of endoscopic video enhancement.
Project Description:
The enhancement of endoscopic videos is a critical yet complex task. These videos are integral to various clinical interventions, where the clarity of imaging data is essential for procedural success. Due to challenging imaging conditions, the quality of endoscopic videos can be significantly compromised by a range of artifacts. This project seeks to develop the next generation of enhancement algorithms tailored for endoscopic videos, with a focus on applications in real-time interventions. Development efforts will prioritize both enhancement quality and computational efficiency, particularly with respect to latency.
Research Environment:
The successful candidate will join the BMIC team at ETH Zurich. The project is conducted in collaboration with an industrial implementation partner, who will provide support with hardware and software integration.
Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate will possess:
- A PhD in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, or a related discipline,
- Experience in the analysis of endoscopic video data,
- Expertise in image and/or video enhancement algorithms,
- A strong interest in the development of real-time, low-latency algorithms,
- A minimum of two first-author publications in top-tier venues such as IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, Medical Image Analysis, MICCAI, IPMI, CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, or ICML,
- Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills in English.
Start date and duration:
The position is available starting 1 October 2025. The duration is 24 months.
Application:
In order to apply, please send an email to with the subject “Post-doc application”.
In the email, please include your CV, links to two articles in which you were the first author and you would like to highlight, contact details of two references and a brief description explaining why you are interested in this position.
