<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Project Description:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The Computer Graphics
and Virtual Reality group is seeking a researcher for
scientific work on natural and direct interaction methods in
virtual environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The successful
candidate will be expected to take over responsibility for
and perform both theoretical research and practical
development towards a PhD degree. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Research areas will
be novel virtual interaction methods, physically-based
simulation, and geometric acceleration data structures. One
goal of the work is to develop realistic, real-time, direct
spatial manipulation methods, in particular those that
involve dextrous manipulations using virtual hands and other
metaphors. Major challenges are the real-time requirements,
numerical robustness, and physical plausibility. Another
goal are 3D virtual system control methods. As part of your
work you will present your results at internationally
visible venues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The position offers
great opportunities for collaboration with other members of
the Collaborative Research Center on Spatial Cognition, a
vibrant research environment where a broad range of
activities related to space and cognition are being
pursued(ranging from robotics to neuro-informatics to
psychology).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The successful
candidate will be working with a dynamic, friendly, and
helpful team of computer graphics researchers. Our research
group is part of the school of computer science at
