Position description
A part-time Junior Specialist in Computer Vision position is available at Dr. Meng Tang's lab at University of California, Merced for 2026. The position focuses on advancing research in generative models for spatial intelligence, with applications spanning 3D perception, scene understanding, and robotics. The selected candidate will work in a collaborative research environment to develop novel methods that bridge generative modeling and visual perception. A key expectation of this role is to contribute to and lead efforts toward publishing a paper in a top-tier conference such as CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, or ICML.
The specialist will be responsible for designing and implementing state-of-the-art computer vision and generative modeling algorithms, and applying them to spatial reasoning tasks such as camera pose estimation, view synthesis, and 3D scene understanding. Daily activities include coding and debugging deep learning models, conducting experiments on GPU servers, analyzing results, and maintaining reproducible research pipelines. The candidate will routinely review recent literature, participate in weekly research meetings, and contribute to technical writing, including preparing figures, experimental evaluations, and manuscripts for publication.
Qualifications
