The DFG-funded Research Training Group “Crossworlds – Coupling real and virtual social worlds” at TU Chemnitz offers 12 PhD positions starting April 1st, 2015. The application deadline is October 31st, 2014. More details can be found at http://crossworlds.info/jobposting/.

Our group has recently posted an offer for the CSF Alemanha program of DAAD and co at http://www.csf-alemanha.de/en/19592/index.html?subject=54&specialisation=55&searchterm=&detail=2712. With the two incoming students we want to tackle an interesting and highly related to practice topic in the fields of information visualization. Please forward to prospective students and feel free to apply.

Again there is one open position available at the Visual Computing Laboratory, part of the Department of Computer Science at Chemnitz University of Technology. The (50% E13 TV-L) position is best suited for a PhD-student and at first limited to two years. As part of the DFG-project “SmoothViz: Visualization of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation Data” the position will be in close collaboration with the Visualization and Computer Graphics Laboratory at Jacobs University in Bremen. Knowledge in the fields of visualization, computer graphics, and GPU programming is beneficial.

Applications should preferably be sent via email to Jun.-Prof. Dr. Paul Rosenthal at latest till 10.04.2012. Please feel also free to ask any questions via email.

An der Juniorprofessur Visual Computing der Fakultät für Informatik ist im DFG-Projekt “SmoothViz: Visualization of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation Data” zum nächstmöglichen Termin eine halbe Drittmittelstelle zunächst befristet für zwei Jahre als Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin/Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (50%; Entgeltgruppe E 13 TV-L) zu besetzen. Es handelt sich um ein Projekt in Zusammenarbeit mit der Jacobs University in Bremen.

Das Projekt verfolgt das Ziel die Arbeiten des bereits seit drei Jahren sehr erfolgreich laufenden Projektes für die Visualisierung von SPH Daten weiterzuführen. Dazu gehört das interaktive Verarbeiten von massiven SPH-Datensätzen und neue Visualisierungsmethoden für unstrukturierte Daten. Insofern sind Kenntnisse in den Bereichen Visualisierung, Computergrafik und parallele Programmierung (GPU) von Vorteil.

Bewerbungen mit den üblichen Unterlagen, vorzugsweise als PDF-Dokument per Email, werden bis zum 10.04.2012 erbeten an Jun.-Prof. Dr. Paul Rosenthal. Weitere Informationen!

There are two full research positions (E 13 TV-L) for three years available at the Visual Computing Laboratory (http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/informatik/vcl/), part of the Department of Computer Science at Chemnitz University of Technology.

The first position should be filled as soon as possible and can be filled by a phd-student or post-doc. The position is integrated into the interdisciplinary competence center “Virtual Humans” (http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/forschung/virtual_humans/). Topics of the research will be the modeling of smart virtual workers and the visualization of multidimensional ergonomic measures related to their work. Applicants have to hold a computer-science related Master or Diploma degree.

The second position suited for a phd-student is part of the interdisciplinary research training group “CrossWorlds – Connecting Virtual and Real Social Worlds” (http://crossworlds.info/) which will start from 01.04.2012 on. Topics of the research will be related to the study of new ways of interaction and communication which are offered by the connection of virtual and real social worlds in comparison with the experience of immediate real interaction and communication. Applicants have to hold a computer-science related Master or Diploma degree.

For more information about the positions contact Paul Rosenthal (https://www.paul-rosenthal.de/?page_id=72). Applications should be preferably sent via email including the usual documents.
