Dear all, the Computer Graphics Group at Bielefeld University, Germany, is offering a PhD position for a three-year collaboration project with the Honda Research Institute Europe (Offenbach, Germany), starting January 1st, 2019. In this project we will investigate adaptive and sparse representations for geometric objects, aiming at efficient and intuitive shape analysis, synthesis, and manipulation of geometric surfaces. The successful candidate will mostly work at Bielefeld University, but will also spend some time at the Honda Research Institute in Offenbach, in order to foster collaboration and provide interesting insights into the research environment of the Honda Research Institute Europe. Candidates must have a Master's degree (or equivalent) in computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field. They should have good knowledge of geometric modeling and applied math. If you are interested and have questions, please contact Prof. Mario Botsch (botsch(a)techfak.uni-bielefeld.de). Applications should include the usual documents (letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, certificates) and should be sent in electronic form to Ms. Silke Koelsch (skoelsch(a)techfak.uni-bielefeld.de). The deadline for application is October 18, 2018. Official announcement: http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/Universitaet/Aktuelles/Stellenausschreibungen/An zeigen/Wiss/wiss18267_englisch.pdf
