The Computational Imaging Group offers research opportunities at multiple levels, ranging from short-term projects for UW–Madison students to full-time PhD and postdoctoral positions. Opportunities differ in scope, expectations, and application process.

PhD Positions

PhD students in CIG are admitted through the official graduate admissions process at the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at UW-Madison. The group offers full-time doctoral training in computational imaging at the intersection of machine learning, optimization, and signal processing, with applications in scientific and biomedical imaging. Successful applicants typically have strong preparation in mathematics and programming and demonstrated research potential. PhD students are fully funded in accordance with UW-Madison policies, and all admissions decisions are made through the departmental process. Prospective applicants who are interested in working with the group are encouraged to complete the research interest form.

Postdoctoral Positions

CIG does not currently advertise specific postdoctoral openings; however, we are always interested in hearing from strong candidates with research experience in generative AI, inverse problems, and large-scale optimization. Postdoctoral positions are typically tied to available funding and research alignment, and inquiries from candidates with a strong publication record and clear research vision are welcome. Interested candidates may contact Prof. Kamilov directly.
