[General] 3-year Marie-Curie Position at Fraunhofer IGD

Position: ITN – 3 year fulltime research fellow position within EVOCATION (EU H2020 research and innovation project under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 813170) Project website: EVOCATION - https://evocation.eu/ ID: CHD-ColorESR11 with option for PhD at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Topic: Color Calibration Workflows in 3D Objectives Existing color calibration workflows typically target the 2D domain and standards are already well established. In 3D however, there is nothing … yet. The main task is to extend existing or develop new color management workflows for photogrammetry and other techniques of 3D digitization, towards a unified and standardized pipeline establishing a faithful correspondence between the virtual 3D representation of an object and its physical appearance. The candidate will closely collaborate with other international fellows within a European research project in order to build a bridge from physical object acquisition to its virtual representation and subsequently to its color-calibrated, 3D printed replica. Expected results The fellow is expected to: * develop automated color-calibration workflows for autonomous 3D digitization technologies. * publish relevant scientific research papers and reports. * participate in standardization efforts of the color-science community for 3D color calibration. Candidate profile The candidate should: * have a master degree in computer science and be fluent in English and C++. * have a solid background in mathematics and image processing. * be an independent thinker, proactive, responsible and efficient * be a team-player, motivated for excellence Host institution Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt, Germany Supervisors: P. Santos, M. Domajnko and M. Ritz Related websites Fraunhofer IGD https://www.igd.fraunhofer.de/en/kompetenzen/technologien/3d-scanning CultLab3D https://www.cultlab3d.de/ PhD-granting institution Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Benefits Training: You will gain scientific skills in cutting-edge technologies focusing on translational science in expert laboratories, in a highly stimulating and collaborative environment. There will be opportunities for short term secondments in collaborative laboratories within the network. PhD: If Applicable: You will register in the doctorate program at the associated University. Salary: You will receive a highly competitive salary according to Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions rules. Exact salary is calculated per country and includes living and mobility allowances. Hosting conditions: You will have a supervisory team to develop training and career plans. Eligibility criteria: At the time of recruitment, you must fulfill the requirements defined for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), meaning that you are in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of your research career and have NOT yet been awarded the doctorate degree. Candidates who have worked in Germany are eligible for recruitment only if they have resided or carried out their main activity outside of Germany for more than 24 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment. The time of recruitment normally is the first day of the employment of the fellow for the purpose of the project (i.e. the starting date indicated in the employment contract). You need to be flexible to travel throughout Europe in order to exchange expertise between the partners of EVOCATION consortia. In case of positive evaluation of your application we will get in touch with you shortly after your application. Employment details Starting date: as soon as possible Contract duration: 36 months Benefits and salary: Successful candidates will receive a competitive salary and employment benefits in accordance with the MSCA regulations for early stage researchers and the host country, respectively. The exact salary will be confirmed upon appointment and consists of the following allowances: * Living allowance basic gross salary: € 3,171.90 per month. This amount is adjusted through the application of a country correction coefficient to the living allowance of the country in which the researcher will be recruited. * Mobility allowance: € 600 per month * Family allowance (if applicable): € 500 per month * Additional funding for participation to courses, workshops, conferences, etc. is available. Net salary results from deducting compulsory (employer/employee) social security contribution, as well as direct national and local taxes (e.g., income tax) from the gross amount.
