Research Opportunities

The Computational Imaging Group (CIG) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team in Summer or Fall 2023. The successful candidate will work on an exciting collaborative project at the intersection of computational imaging, neuroscience, and machine learning.

The ideal candidate will have a strong research background in one or more of the following areas: computational imaging, inverse problems, deep learning, optimization, signal processing, biomedical imaging, and/or computer vision. In particular, we are looking for candidates who have experience in designing and implementing computational imaging algorithms, as well as a strong track record of publications in relevant conferences and journals.

The postdoc will have the opportunity to work closely with other members of the CIG team, as well as collaborators from WashU and other institutions, and will be expected to contribute to the development of new research directions. The position offers a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as access to state-of-the-art computing and imaging facilities.

To apply, please email a CV, a brief statement of research interests and goals, and the names and contact information of references. Review of applications will begin on in April, and will continue until the position is filled.

The Computational Imaging Group (CIG) is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team in Fall 2024. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on exciting research projects at the intersection of computational imaging, computer vision, machine learning, biomedical imaging, and optimization.

We are looking for a student with a strong educational and research background in electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field. The ideal candidate will have experience in one or more of the following areas: signal & image processing, computer vision, optimization, machine learning, or biomedical imaging. The student will have the opportunity to work closely with other members of the CIG team, as well as collaborators from Washington University and other institutions.

CIG is affiliated with three doctoral programs within McKelvey School of Engineering, namely Electrical & Systems Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, and Imaging Science. The successful candidate will be admitted to one of these programs and will be expected to meet the academic requirements for the PhD degree. The position offers a competitive PhD stipend, as well as access to state-of-the-art research facilities at Washington University. To apply, please submit a CV, a research statement, and the names and contact information of three references through the Graduate Admissions portal.

CIG is looking for highly motivated WashU students for multiple research projects. We have a history of mentoring undergraduate and graduate students interested in research, with many of our alumni becoming PhD students in top programs (including WashU) and many projects leading to publications in top conferences and journals. The list of available projects can be found here. If you are interested in a project, please apply by emailing your resume and a description of your interests to the project supervisor.

The International Student Research Internship Program is designed for students currently enrolled at an international university to participate in engineering research at Washington University during the summer months (May through August). CIG offers 1-2 projects every summer for students in the areas of computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, and biomedical engineering. To apply and more info see the program website.

Every year, CIG recruits undergraduates for a 10-week summer research program. Our Summer Program is an excellent way to get involved in cutting-edge research, to find out what it’s like to be a graduate student, and get paid for it. CIG is affiliated with two summer research programs at Washington University: (a) CSE Research Experience for Undergraduates and (b) Summer Engineering Fellowship Program (WUSEF). You can directly apply to the CIG projects listed in those programs.
