PhD Position in Search and Visual Exploration of

3D Cultural Heritage Objects

https://www.tugraz.at/institute/cgv/about-cgv/open-positions/

-------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Research Context

----------------

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.

Applicant Profile

-----------------

A master degree in computer science, information systems, information 
science, mechatronics, telematics, mathematics, or related studies is 
required. One or more of the following skills are required: Knowledge in 
computer graphics, information retrieval, multimedia databases, data 
visualization, or interactive systems. Practical skills in a current 
programming language (e.g., C++, C#, Java, Python, etc.) are required. 
An interest to work in a collaborative research environment with domain 
experts in the Humanities is expected.

Position Details and Working Environment

----------------------------------------

The position is initially available for three years, starting in 
December 2018 or later. The opportunity to develop a Ph.D. thesis with 
the Doctoral School for Computer Science at TU Graz is provided. The 
full-time gross salary for this position is at least 2.794,60 Euro per 
month (14 times a year) and includes full social insurance.

Our research group offers a creative working atmosphere in a motivated, 
cooperative, and technically very well equipped environment. We offer 
excellent professional and personal development possibilities. Our 
institute is part of the Visual Computing research cluster in Graz, 
offering an excellent scientific environment at large. The city of Graz 
and its Styrian surroundings offer exceptional quality of living.
