Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization, Graz: post-doctoral researcher

A female post-doctoral researcher is being sought to join the Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization (see http://www.cgv.tugraz.at for details of the group) at the Graz University of Technology. The position is open to women only in order to increase the percentage of female scientific staff at the Faculty of Computer Technology and Biomedical Engineering.

Position Number: 7110/14/011. The full-time position is restricted to 6 years with the possibility to gain tenure if agreed qualifications have been met. Gross salary: € 48.766 p.a. Expected starting date: 1. July.

Requirements: A PhD in technical sciences (information technology or mathematics). The applicant has excellent written and spoken English and German language skills, and experience in acquisition and management of scientific projects.

The Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization conducts applied research at the interface of computer graphics, simulation science and digital libraries. In the coming years we intent to focus our research on defining an efficient and reduced representation for freeform surfaces. Parallel to this is the question on how to efficiently analyse and simulate the behavior of freeform structures.

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher interested in the field of geometry processing and computer aided geometric design, with an expertise in subdivision surfaces. Experience with isogeometric analysis based on subdivision surfaces is a plus.

The work of a successful candidate will include the scientific development of the above described area of research, acquisition and coordination of scientific projects, teaching and developing courses, and supervision of Bachelor and Master Theses.
