Open Position with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group Bremen

Research assistant

with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group at the University 
of Bremen, Germany.

Salary is according to the German Federal pay scale, TV-L 13, full position.

Job Description:

The work in this position will comprise 3D geometric algorithms and 
virtual reality in the context of medical simulation. The particular 
application is the training of surgeons for procedures involving the 
replacement of hip joints. The successful candidate will collaborate 
with other German partners providing 3D models, force-feedback, and game 
software platforms. The job of the successful candidate is to work on 
geometric algorithms for penetration computations and the simulation of 
milling during the procedure. At the end of the project, after two 
years, the system should enable surgery students to experience a hip 
joint procedure both visually and haptically in a virtual reality setup. 
This will greatly facilitate the training of surgeons and help them make 
fewer mistakes when beginning to practice.

About us:

The position offers great opportunities for collaboration with other 
members of both the computer graphics group and other groups. This job 
provides a vibrant research environment where a broad range of 
activities related to 3D graphics algorithms and virtual reality are 
being pursued. 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, a lot of them from abroad, 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 related disciplines such as mathematics, physics, 
etc. Required skills are solid experience in C++ software development, 
and a good command of English (reading/writing/speaking). Ideally, you 
have specialized in real-time computer graphics or 3D geometric 
algorithms, you are capable of effectively applying mathematical 
methods, and you have good knowledge in GPGPU programming. In addition, 
the successful candidate will be highly self-motivated, passionate about 
their work,  and have good ability to work both independently as well as 
in a team in a multidisciplinary environment. Speaking German, at least 
for conversation, is a plus.

Conditions of Employment:

For the time being, the position is available until 31.8.2018 (under the 
condition of job release), with the aim of extension.

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 including any 
achievements, 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.). 
Application by email is preferred.

We encourage candidates to apply immediately, but will continue to 
review applications until the position is filled.

If you have any questions about the position, please do not hesitate to 
address them to the above email address.
