Call for two MSCA-ITN Early-Stage Researchers (PhD positions) on Advanced Visual and Geometric Computing for 3D Capture, Display, and Fabrication (EVOCATION)

We are happy to announce the availability at CRS4 of 2 Early-Stage Researcher (ESR) PhD positions (out of 14) in the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network on Advanced Visual and Geometric Computing for 3D Capture, Display, and Fabrication (EVOCATION). This project has received funding from the European Union’s (EU) Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 813170.

1. REGISTER HERE: https://evocation.eu/recruitment/apply/

2. APPLY HERE: http://jobs.crs4.it/show/jo-48-0507 (DEADLINE: 23 APRIL 2019)

EVOCATION, started in October 2018 and lasting four years, is a leading European-wide doctoral Collegium focusing on scalable and high-fidelity shape and appearance acquisition, extraction of structure and semantic information, processing, visualization, 3D display and 3D fabrication in professional and consumer applications. The ESRs will receive scientific skills in cutting-edge techniques in a highly stimulating and collaborative international environment involving eight leading institutions across Europe. Further information on the EVOCATION network is available at http://www.evocation.eu/

The two ESRs will be hosted by the Visual Computing Group of the CRS4 research center in Italy, at the forefront of research in the acquisition, storage, processing, distribution, and interactive exploration of massive data. More information on the Visual Computing group is available at http://vic.crs4.it/

The two specific research topics are the scalable reconstruction and exploration of complex indoor environments (main topics: 3D reconstruction, (deep) learning, modeling) and the scalable exploration of complex objects and environments beyond visual replication (main topics: real-time graphics, rendering, visualization). 

The main goal is to conduct excellent research, generating results which are published and presented in top international journals and conferences, while being practically applicable for solving challenging large scale visualization problems. The activities will not only include research and continuing education for network participants, but also support in teaching (esp. to other network participants), as well as system/software maintenance and administrative tasks. The work will involve trans-national mobility and will also include pursuing a PhD degree at the University of Cagliari.
