Training Group. The person should have a clear focus on at least one of the

two priorities of the Research Training Group, i.e. in sensor development or

in sensor data processing and analysis. We expect the person to work

actively in the interdisciplinary field covering both aspects. Sample

research fields are

* Sensor and algorithm development for 2D/3D scene acquisition

* Sensor development for THz- and multi-spectral imaging

* Integration of multimodal sensor systems

* Sensor data fusion and information extraction from mono- and

multimodal sensor data

* Probabilistic estimation methods for scene surveillance or material

recognition

* Visualization and visual analysis of mono-and multimodal sensor data

Beside the general public service law, prerequisites for being appointed as

Junior Professor are a Master or Diploma degree, teaching aptitude and a

doctoral degree in one of the stated research topics. Furthermore, it is

expected, that the person contribute in teaching courses specifically
