Open Position with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group Bremen

Post-graduate research position (full-time) with the SFB/TR 8 Spatial 
Cognition / Department for Mathematics and Computer Science at the 
University of Bremen, Germany, to be filled as soon as possible

Project I8-[DextrousSpace] -

Dextrous Spatial Interactive Manipulation of Virtual Objects Salary is 
according to the German Federal pay scale (TV-L 13, gross salary 
approx.EUR 40,000 p.a., supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG)).

Project Description:

The Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality group is seeking a researcher 
for scientific work on natural and direct interaction methods in virtual 
environments.

The successful candidate will be expected to take over responsibility 
for and perform both theoretical research and practical development 
towards a PhD degree.

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.

About 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).

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 University of Bremen. Our 
university is a mid-sized university with about 20,000 students, 
offering a broad range of fringe benefits such as sports facilities, 
cultural activities, and daycare.

Qualifications:

Candidates should have an excellent Master's degree or equivalent in 
computer science or mathematics, or related disciplines such as physics, 
etc. Ideally, you have specialized in real-time computer graphics or 
physically-based simulation, and you have good knowledge about applied 
mathematical methods and parallel programming. Required skills are solid 
experience in C++ software development, and a good command of English 
(reading/writing/speaking). In addition, the successful candidate will 
be highly self-motivated, passionate about their work, and have good 
ability to work both independently and in a team in a multidisciplinary 
environment.

Conditions of employment:

The position is available for a period of 1.5 years. Upon successful 
completion, the position can be prolonged (with different funding) for 
another 3-year period, under the condition of job release.

As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female 
employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In 
case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification, disabled persons 
will be given priority. Applicants with a migration background are welcome.

How to Apply & What to Do in Case of Questions:

Applications should comprise a cover letter, complete CV, degree 
certificates (including list of courses and grades), names and contact 
details of at least two referees, and other credentials if any (e.g., 
recommendation letters, publications, etc.). Please address questions 
about the position and send your application (preferably by email) to:

Prof. Dr. Gabriel Zachmann, zach at cs.uni-bremen.de Application 
deadline: September 12, 2013 (or until a suitable candidate is found).
