The research group Graphics, Capture and Massively Parallel Computing (GCC,
Prof. Goesele) in the Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt has two
job openings for
Research Associates/Ph.D. Students
for an initial term of 3 years. The open positions are part of the joint PhD
program in visual computing with the Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
in Singapore (see <http://cospace.sce.ntu.edu.sg/joint_degree/TUD.htm>
http://cospace.sce.ntu.edu.sg/joint_degree/TUD.htm). Both positions include
therefore a one year research stay at NTU in Singapore.
The research group Graphics, Capture and Massively Parallel Computing works
on topics at the intersection of computer graphics and computer vision. A
second focus are efficient techniques for massively parallel computing
(e.g., on modern graphics processing units). Both positions should
contribute and/or complement the existing research topics and should also
fit to the research interests of the researchers in the joint Ph.D. program
in Singapore. Potential topics include:
- efficient image-based reconstruction and rendering techniques
- analysis and perceptual evaluation of reconstruction and rendering
techniques
- reconstruction and processing or geometry and reflectance
- massively parallel techniques in computer vision and computer graphics
The successful candidate will also participate in the groups teaching
activities.
We are looking for highly motivated applicants, which are able to
independently perform scientific research, but are also willing and able to
cooperate with other members of our team. The position requires a Masters or
Diploma degree in Computer Science or a related field and a deep knowledge
of computer graphics, computer vision and/or massively parallel programming.
The candidate should have very good knowledge of C/C++ and ideally also have
very good knowledge in parallel or massively parallel programming. In
addition, she/he should have a strong proficiency of spoken and written
English.
Opportunity for further qualification (doctoral dissertation) is given. The
fulfillment of the research and service requirements attached to this
position serve at the same time as fulfillment of the academic requirements
for a candidate's doctoral degree.
The Technische Universität Darmstadt intends to increase the number of
female faculty members and encourages female candidates to apply. In case of
equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of at least 50
or equal will be given preference. Wages and salaries are according to the
collective agreements on salary scales, which apply to the Technische
Universität Darmstadt (TV-TU Darmstadt). Part-time employment is generally
possible.
How to Apply
Your application should include a letter of motivation stating your interest
in the position and your research interests, your current curriculum vitae,
M.Sc./Diploma certificates including grades, and at least two letters of
recommendation. Please send your application via email to Prof. Dr.-Ing.
Michael Goesele ( <mailto:goesele@cs.tu-darmstadt.de>

research in systems biology, omics, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy,
biomedical imaging, ..
* Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine
Methods might include, but are not limited to:
* Computer models of biomechanical, physiological and biochemical
functions of living systems.
* Visualization and analysis of all kinds of biomedical (image) data.
* Information visualization of medical data sets e.g. electronic
health records.

Computer Graphics & Visual Computing 2015
The 33rd Annual Conference organised by the UK
Chapter of the Eurographics Association,
16-17 September 2015, University College London, UK
<http://cgvc15.cs.ucl.ac.uk/> http://cgvc15.cs.ucl.ac.uk/
Call for contributions: 11 June 2015
The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK
working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers
from across the country and from further afield.
The 2015 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an
overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on
increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in
academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such
dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended
abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions
of full papers.
Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers
will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of
accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the
conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library
and will count as full paper publications.
Extended abstracts - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and
references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim
results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere.
Extended abstracts will be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme
committee. Authors of accepted abstracts will be expected to give a 15
minute presentation at the conference.
Industrial sketches - a technical sketch of 1 page or an abstract of 250
words, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical
sketches will be presented at the conference site as large format posters
during a dedicated poster session.
Accepted abstracts and sketches will appear in the Eurographics digital
library. An extended abstract and industrial sketches will not be considered
as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page
sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such,
presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your
ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See
full instruction at the conference website.
Topics include but are not limited to:
・ Computer animation and image-based animation
・ Computer-based arts and entertainment
・ Vision-based techniques and image processing
・ Acquisition and reconstruction techniques
・ Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware
・ Medical imaging
・ Multimedia visualisation
・ Modelling methods
・ Rendering techniques
・ Scientific visualization and big data
・ Information visualization and visual analytics
・ Augmented reality and collaborative environments
・ Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices
・ Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics
