A post-doctoral researcher is being sought to join the Institute of Computer
Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation at the Graz University of Technology
(see <http://www.cgv.tugraz.at> http://www.cgv.tugraz.at for details of the
group).
Duration: 1 year fixed-term, with the option to extend.
Salary: Starting from 48766.20 Euro per annum (3483.30 Euro gross per month,
14x per year).
Start date: May 2014
Description of the project:
The goal of the project is to make it easier to produce computerised models
from captured data. We have methods for finding curvatures and features in a
point cloud or triangle mesh and, based on those, developed a software tool
which aids the manual generation of good subdivision meshes from scan data.
Your work will be to investigate methods that automatically reduce a point
cloud or triangle mesh to a good coarse subdivision mesh. A good subdivision
mesh is not only accurate and coarse but also regular. The method for
finding high quality quadrilateral representations should be general and
applicable to complex meshes of arbitrary topology.
Requirements:
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher interested in the field of
Geometry Processing. The ap- plicant ideally has a good understanding of
geometric modeling and mesh generation. Experience in surface reconstruction
will be highly desirable. Due to the computational nature of the project,
program- ming skills are also required. You would be expected to hold, or be
close to completion of, a PhD in computer graphics or geometry processing.

Call for 16 PhD-Fellowships and 4 Post-Doc Positions in the area of Digital
Cultural Heritage
The "Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage: Projecting our
Past to the Future" with acronym ITN-DCH ( <http://www.itn-dch.eu>
www.itn-dch.eu), is the first and one of the largest Marie Curie fellowship
projects in the area of the e-documentation / e-preservation and Cultural
Heritage (CH) protection funded by the European Union under the FP7 PEOPLE
research framework ( <http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/>
http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/ ). The Project started on
the 1st of October 2013 and it is a consortium comprising of 14 full
partners and 9 associate members covering the entire spectrum of European CH
actors, ranging from academia, research institutions, industry, museums,
archives and libraries. The project aims to train 20 fellows (16 Early Stage
Researchers and 4 Experienced Researchers - 500 person months) in the area
of CH digital documentation, preservation and protection in order to create
for them a strong academic profile and market oriented skills which will
significantly contribute to their career prospects. The consortium and the
fellows training programme will be supported by a prestigious advisory
board.
ITN-DCH aims -for the first time worldwide- to analyze, design, research,
develop and validate an innovative multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial
research training framework that covers the entire lifecycle of digital CH
research for a cost- effective preservation, documentation, protection and
presentation of cultural heritage. CH is an integral element of Europe and
vital for the creation of a common European identity and one of the greatest
assets for steering Europe's social, economic development and job creation.
However, the current research training activities in CH are fragmented and
mostly design to be of a single discipline, failing to cover the whole
lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a
multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH targets all
aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images, drawings,
manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artefacts, archaeological sites, monuments) to
intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore, theatrical
performances) and their inter-relationships. The project aims to boost the
added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments
(protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films,
music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new
personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e-services,
(ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of
representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv)
interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving.
The ITN-DCH project is seeking highly motivated and valuable researchers for
PhD positions in the entire field of Digital Heritage, such as: Data
Acquisition (Photogrammetry, Terrestrial laser scanning, GIS) and Computer
Vision data processing, 3D reconstruction and modeling, symbolic, semantic
and ontology representation, metadata, mixed and augmented reality
technologies, CH e-services. All the fellows are supposed to travel between
the project partners and attend a series of complementary training courses,
scientific workshops and summer schools.
The call for fellows is available on the ITN-DCH website:
