Dear Friend and Colleague,

I am pleased to inform you that our department is about to

annouce a tenture-track assistant professor position in the area of

computer graphics and computer simulation. These being my own disciplinary

fields I am extremely excited about this.

I hope you will help me get the news out to strong candidates that would

be interesting in making a career here in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Below is a snippet of the call text that soon will go online. Any

interested candidates are welcome to contact me for more information.

Best regards

Kenny Erleben

Tenure-track assistant Professor of Computer Graphics and Computer

Simulation

Department of Computer Science

Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen

The Department of Computer Science (http://www.diku.dk) at the University

of Copenhagen invites applications for an associate professor of Computer

Graphics and Computer Simulation.

The department is expanding its research and educational activities in

computer simulation and computer graphics. There are excellent

opportunities for working with medical applications and for collaboration

on theoretical and applied development of novel numerical methods, new

approaches for computational meshing, GPU programming and computational

mechanics with researchers at DIKU and neighbouring institutions requiring

advanced computer simulations beyond the state-of-the-art.

The applicant is expected to have substantial research experience in the

area of Computer Graphics and Computer Simulation. Outstanding applicants

in all areas of computer graphics and computer simulation will be

considered, but research areas of special interest include moving meshes,

computational contact mechanics, bio-mechanical modeling as well as the

application of these methods in various domains.

The successful candidate is expected to build up his/her own research

group and apply for external funding (e.g., an ERC starting grant). The

position comes with a competitive start-up package.
