We are launching a new interdisciplinary research project at IDLab-MEDIA, UGent – imec, aimed at advancing the state of the art in motion capture, sensor fusion, immersive media, and 3D computer vision. Within this broader initiative, we are seeking two PhD researchers who will contribute to complementary aspects of the project.
One position targets immersive media representation and 3D computer vision, investigating novel methods for photorealistic scene reconstruction and understanding.

The second position focuses on developing infrastructure-free, markerless motion capture systems using wearable sensors, exploring multimodal fusion, robust pose estimation, and real-time processing. Together, these roles form a cohesive effort to bridge algorithmic innovation with practical applications in next-generation media technologies.

Profile
- Hold (or will soon hold) a Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Strong coding skills (Python, C++…)
- Interest in computer vision, signal processing, machine learning, and graphics
