*Researcher Position in Scientific Visualization at Fraunhofer IGD in 
Darmstadt*

**

*About us:*

The Interactive Engineering Technologies group at the Fraunhofer 
Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD) in Darmstadt, Germany 
pursues applied technology research in the area of design, analysis, 
visualization and interpretation. Our research enhances human-computer 
interaction and supports the userâ??s workflow using computer graphics 
technologies. This simplifies decisions during the work flow and 
operational sequences become more reliable and efficient.

Our main focus is enhancing the interactivity of simulations. We 
leverage current GPU computing methods and integrate modeling, 
simulation and visualization. In this way, we shorten the design process 
and enable users to directly manipulate simulations.

**

*Position:*

The successful candidate will work in the context of an 
interdisciplinary European research project regarding the combination of 
inâ??situ processing and queryâ??based visualization (QBV) with modern 
OpenGL and GPUâ??based techniques for the interactive analysis of 
extremely large-scale simulations. Employing advanced features of 
stateâ??ofâ??theâ??art graphics cards and modern OpenGL programming will 
allow for new result representations and faster image generation of 
complex scenes while maintaining interactivity and intelligent analysis 
using graphics hardware on a local workstation.

**

*Qualifications:*

Candidates should have an excellent Masterâ??s degree or equivalent in 
computer science or related disciplines. Required skills are solid 
experience in C++ software development, and a good command of English. 
Ideally, you have specialized in real-time computer graphics, scientific 
visualization and/or GPU computing methods. 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 at first available for a period of 2 years. The salary 
is according to the German Federal pay scale (TVÃ?D). Fraunhofer is an 
equal opportunity employer. Women are especially encouraged to apply. 
Handicapped applicants with comparable qualifications will be given 
preferential treatment.

We offer excellent working conditions within interesting applied 
research topics in an interdisciplinary team. Furthermore, we offer the 
possibility to pursue a PhD in cooperation with TU Darmstadt. We also 
encourage candidates with doctoral degree to apply for a post-doc position.

**

*How to apply:*

Applicants are kindly asked to submit their application, including all 
important documents, to:

Fraunhofer-Institut für Graphische Datenverarbeitung
Prof. Dr.-Ing. André Stork
andre.stork@igd.fraunhofer.de <mailto:andre.stork@igd.fraunhofer.de>
