About this position

PhD Research Fellow in Structured Vision-Language Models at the University of Oslo, Norway, in the research centre Integreat – the Norwegian Centre for Knowledge-driven Machine Learning.

This PhD project focuses on a major limitation of current vision-language models (VLMs): while they can identify objects in an image, they often fail to understand what is happening and how objects relate to each other. The project aims to address this by developing panoptic scene graphs, where objects and background regions become graph nodes and spatial, semantic, and relational information is captured through graph edges. A key idea is to build these graphs from superpixels rather than standard square image patches, allowing the model to better respect object boundaries and improve interpretability and scene understanding.

The project is directly connected to recent work on superpixel tokenization for vision transformers, including results presented at ECCV Workshops 2024 and NeurIPS 2025. It sits at the intersection of computer science, machine learning, and computer vision, with a strong research orientation toward structured multimodal representation learning and image understanding.

The position is a PhD opening and is intended for a motivated first-stage researcher. The advert states that applicants should have a Master degree or equivalent in computer science. The project is described as interdisciplinary and collaborative, with supervision by senior experts in a dynamic research environment.

Funding: the post is presented as a funded PhD position, although the advert excerpt does not specify stipend amount, tuition coverage, or exact funding terms.

Deadline: 18 November 2026, 23:00 (Europe/Oslo).

How to apply: use the Jobbnorge application page provided in the advert. Prepare your application materials according to the online instructions and submit them before the deadline.

Relevant contacts listed in the advert include [email protected] and [email protected]. The position is based in Oslo, Norway.
