Postdoctoral Position in Color-Specific Conditional Generation for Multi-Modal Generative Models at Computer Vision Center
The Computer Vision Center (CVC) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona is offering a junior postdoctoral position in its Color Group, focusing on the development of new methods for color-specific conditional generation in multi-modal generative models. The CVC is a renowned non-profit research center dedicated to advancing computer vision and facilitating knowledge transfer to industry and society. This postdoctoral role is part of a project funded by the 2025 Leonardo Grant for Scientific Research and Cultural Creation from the BBVA Foundation, awarded to Dr. Javier Vázquez Corral. The successful candidate will investigate how color information is encoded and propagated within text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models, identifying key layers or components that contribute to color representation. The position involves designing new models and conditioning mechanisms that enable users to specify and control color attributes in T2I models reliably and interpretably. Applicants must have a PhD in Computer Science obtained within the last two years, at least one year of postdoctoral research experience in computational color research, image processing, or computer vision, and a strong publication record in top venues such as ICCV, CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, or ACM Multimedia. Essential skills include fluency in English, creative and independent thinking, effective communication, multitasking, and collaborative work. Proficiency in Python and knowledge of the latest generative architectures are required. The position offers a full-time, temporary contract for one year, with the possibility of extension subject to further funding. Salary will be determined according to qualifications, experience, and CVC salary regulations. The application deadline is November 2, 2025, and the expected start date is mid-January 2026. The CVC is committed to open, transparent, and merit-based recruitment, adhering to the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. Interested candidates should apply online via the CVC job portal and ensure they meet all eligibility criteria.
