PhD studentship opportunity: Mass digitization and metadata enrichment 
of 3D cultural heritage artefacts by automatic and user-based metadata 
acquisition

Applications are invited for a four year fully-funded PhD studentship 
within EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in 
Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA -- www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk) . The 
studentship comprises a one-year MRes based at UCL, London, followed by 
three years PhD study at the University of Brighton, in collaboration 
with the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (Darmstadt, 
Germany) and the Brighton Royal Pavilion and Museums. The project will 
look at the state-of-the-art 'conveyor belt' approach to high fidelity 
3D digitization of complex cultural artefacts. Effective management and 
exploration of collections depends on the acquisition not just of the 
artefacts themselves, but also of semantic metadata, providing 
annotation of, and linkage between, acquired assets in the collection. 
This PhD project aims to explore the potential for the application of 
mass digitization technology in cultural heritage organisations, and to 
develop tools and techniques for the enrichment of collections with 
metadata by automatic and user-based acquisition.

Application deadline: open until filled, for Sep 22 start on MRes at UCL

Detailed information:

As a SEAHA student, you will have unparalleled access to research 
infrastructure and expertise across three universities and almost 50 
heritage, research and industrial partners. In addition to the 
university doctoral training requirements, SEAHA students take part in 
an exciting range of cohort activities, ranging from residential events 
and group projects, to conferences and careers events.

Please visit the SEAHA website (www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk) for details.

This exceptionally interdisciplinary project will enable you to seek 
employment in any number of multidisciplinary environments: from 
academia to creative industries. You will have an outstanding record in 
aspects of computer science related to the project (consistent with a 
first or upper-second in Computing Science) and will be able to 
demonstrate knowledge and commitment within a cultural context. 
Excellent proficiency in the English language is mandatory and knowledge 
of the German language is encouraged. Professional experience in 
industry would be an advantage. For further details contact Dr. Roger 
Evans, R.P.Evans@brighton.ac.uk.

The SEAHA Studentship will cover home fees and a stipend of up to a 
maximum of £16,726 per year (current rate) for eligible applicants 
(http://www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk/opportunities/eligibility-criteria/), and a 
substantial budget for research, travel, and cohort activities.

The application should include:

- A covering letter clearly stating your motivation

- The UCL graduate application form which can be downloaded via UCL's 
web site: 
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/apply/apply-now/ucl-graduateapplication-form.pdf

- Two academic references

- A copy of your degree certificate(s) and transcript(s) of degree(s),

- Proof of meeting the UCL English language proficiency requirements 
where necessary. For SEAHA candidates, an advanced level certificate is 
normally required (details of English language proficiency requirements 
can be found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospectivestudents/ 
graduate/apply/english-language/index)

- A short research proposal (max. 2000 words) written by taking into 
consideration the above research questions.

The applications should not be submitted by UCL online admissions 
system. Instead, they should be sent directly to:

SEAHA Manager
