[General] Open PhD Position in Geometry Processing / Computer Aided Design (CAD) / Simulation and Analysis

Open PhD Position in Geometry Processing / Computer Aided Design (CAD) / Simulation and Analysis The Institute for Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Austria participates since 2012 in a joint PhD program with the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Currently, we offer a 3 year PhD Position on this joint program, with a focus on research in the field of subdivision surfaces, isogeometric analysis and wider fields of geometry processing. The Topic can be defined in accordance with the applicant's skills and experience. The PhD includes a one year stay at NTU in Singapore in the second year, while year one and three will be spend at TU Graz, Austria. The PhD will be dual degree, that is, the degree will be both, from TU Graz and NTU. Requirements We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated PhD student interested in the fields of Computer Graphics, Geometry Processing, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Simulation and Analysis. A master degree in applied/computational mathematics or a closely related field is required with excellent grades. The applicant ideally has a good understanding of geometric modelling and processing, and/or finite element methods. Due to the computational nature of the project, programming skills (C++/Matlab) are also required. Additionally, some background in mesh processing (and/or computer aided geometry design) will be highly desirable. What we offer in exchange * You will receive a dual degree from TU Graz and NTU Singapore. * A one year stay in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where you will continue your work under excellent local supervision. NTU is an autonomous institution based in Singapore. It has been ranked the best university in the world under fifty years of age, according to QS Top 50 Under 50 2016-2017 and is also 11th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2018 and third in the QS University Rankings: Asia 2016. * Entry level salary as a PhD researcher is currently 2.731,55 Euro gross, which is paid 14x per annum. As a PhD researcher at TU Graz you are also entitled to full social benefits. * Further... * Freedom to explore your scientific interests in the course of your work (within the scope of the project goals). * A young and international team of researchers with an excellent working atmosphere. * A work environment that is equipped with the newest hardware and software technology. * The possibility to present your research results at international top conferences. * Continuing personal and professional education.
