Student Researcher (Video Quality Analysis & Coding Strategy) - 2026 Start (PhD)

What you'll do

• Design video analysis and quality assessment algorithms, including database creation and algorithm development and optimization.
• Design end-to-end video quality optimization strategies combining video analysis, processing, and encoding.
• Apply algorithms to streaming monitoring and evaluation, and integrate them into production workflows with cross-functional teams and A/B testing.

What they ask for

• Currently pursuing a PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• In-depth knowledge of video analysis algorithms or subjective/objective video quality algorithms and state-of-the-art technologies.
• Proficient in at least one of C, C++, or Python.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with ML and image-processing tools, deep-learning frameworks, Transformer architectures, or multimodal large models.
• Familiarity with Linux development environments, shell scripting, HDFS, or common video-processing algorithms.

Tools

C, C++, Python, sklearn, opencv, ffmpeg, Tensorflow, Pytorch

AI focus

The role involves video analysis and quality algorithms, and may involve ML, deep learning, Transformer architectures, and multimodal large models; hands-on implementation or research experience with the latter is preferred.
