Join an interdisciplinary research group at ETH Zurich and work on cutting-edge algorithms and systems for interactive design, geometry processing, spatial computing, creative AI, and computational fabrication. Be part of ETHAR, a new initiative focused on advancing Augmented Reality, supported by a Google donation. Your research will help develop new methods for calibrating extended reality (XR) devices, supervised by leading professors in the field.

• Design, develop, and evaluate methods, algorithms, and systems for an online calibration framework using deep learning to combine data from multiple sensors (IMU, cameras, eye-trackers).
• Train models on a high-fidelity digital twin and explore neural methods to infer key attributes, including camera parameters, from real-world sensor data.
• Create a system that adapts to physical changes and user context, removing the need for manual setup and enabling seamless XR experiences.
• Follow the scientific research workflow: define the problem, identify gaps in current methods, design and develop new systems, plan and run experiments, and report findings in articles for top conferences and journals.
• Participate in regular meetings and feedback sessions to support your progress and success in the project.

• Strong interest and motivation to contribute to the project's goals.
• Outstanding academic record with an excellent Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience and passion in at least one of these areas: Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Imaging, VR/AR Displays & Wearables, Deep Optics.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and enthusiasm for research.
• Strong programming skills; experience with differentiable simulation frameworks is a plus.
• Excellent verbal, written, and visual communication skills in English for effective work in an international environment.

• Intellectually challenging position in an inspiring interdisciplinary team.
• Opportunity to earn a PhD degree from ETH Zurich.
• Work with impact at a university that supports your professional growth and contributes to positive change in society.
• Benefits include public transport season tickets, car sharing, a variety of sports through ASVZ, childcare, and attractive pension plans.
