[General] PhD job announcement: Dartmouth's Visual Computing Lab

Dear friends and colleagues, I am looking for a PhD student to join my group within Dartmouth's Visual Computing Lab <https://vcl.cs.dartmouth.edu> in Fall 2021 (application deadline is December 15, 2020). My group works on a variety of topics in computer graphics, including rendering, appearance capture/modeling/fabrication, and computational photography. This year, I am particularly interested in candidates for a project with a strong mathematical component at the intersection of graphics, physics, atmospheric sciences, and non-classical light/particle transport (in collaboration with researchers at NASA JPL and The Ohio State University). The project provides opportunities for cross-supervision/collaboration between these three institutions, and internship opportunities at JPL. I've set up a page with more details about my lab and the research project here: https://cs.dartmouth.edu/~wjarosz/phd-position-2020.html If you are interested, please see the CS Department's application instructions here: https://web.cs.dartmouth.edu/graduate/applying/phd-program I am committed to growing a diverse, interdisciplinary, and inclusive research group. I am interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals who identify with LGBTQ+ communities, individuals with disabilities, individuals from any income background, and/or first generation college graduates. Moreover, I am seeking applicants who not only have the skills and passion for this research, but who also have a demonstrated ability and commitment to increasing diversity in STEM and computer science. Applicants should explain in their personal statement how their teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. Please forward to anybody who may be interested. Thanks, -- Wojciech Jarosz Associate Professor Department of Computer Science Dartmouth College https://cs.dartmouth.edu/~wjarosz/
