<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We are looking for a
motivated researcher on the PhD student level to join the
Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization
at Graz University of Technology. In context of a newly
approved collaborative research project co-funded by the
Austrian Science Fund FWF and the State Styria, we will
research new approaches for interactively searching and
visually exploring in collections of 3D objects, with
application to the field of cultural heritage. The position
is initially available for three years with the possibility
to develop a PhD thesis in Computer Science at TU Graz.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Recent advances in
digitization technology lead to growing amounts of 3D
objects becoming available in many applications. As part of
this trend, digitization efforts in the cultural heritage
field lead to increasing amounts of 3D data representing
artifacts, collected in 3D repositories and virtual museums.
Also, a wealth of image data and documents exist which
represent knowledge on artifacts. We will research novel
methods for cross-modal search in 3D and image documents,
supporting shape retrieval and comparison tasks in the
cultural heritage field. We will also consider novel
approaches for visualization of 3D and image content,
supporting exploration and association tasks. The project
will run in collaboration with researchers from Archaeology,
informing and evaluating the methods research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
