[General] UCL's EngD Centre for Virtual Environments: two vacancies

Applications are now invited for two fully funded doctoral studentships at UCL's EngD Centre for Virtual Environments, Imaging and Visualisation. Studentships will start in January 2014. Suitable candidates are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible. These two unique and exciting EngD studentships are sponsored by (1) Microsoft Research and (2) Imaginations Technologies: 1. MSR are sponsoring an EngD project to engineer and test novel methods in augmented reality, gaming and novel display technologies. There is scope to work with MS technologies such as Kinect and Surface, while the candidate would develop entirely new technologies. Technologies include 3D computer graphics, Computer vision, Electronics, Applied optics 2. Imagination Technologies is looking for a creative graphically oriented engineer to pioneer and explore new ways that low-level technologies can benefit end-user applications. This will involve hands-on prototyping and experimentation, to discover the capabilities and strengths of the underlying technologies as well as the preferences and inclinations of users. Applicants are required to have - A bachelor degree (1st or 2.1 honours) - Good knowledge of computer graphics and mathematics - Strong programming skills, including in graphics - Good communication and presentation skills Applications must be made via this link: http://www.prism.ucl.ac.uk/pgadmissions/register VEIV is the leading centre for doctoral training in its field.
