PhD Position at University of Innsbruck

PhD Student Position in Physically-Based Simulation The newly founded Interactive Graphics and Simulation Group at the University of Innsbruck, Austria invites applications for the position of a PhD student in physically-based simulation, with an application in surgical simulation. We are seeking a motivated and talented PhD student with interest and skill in physically-based simulation and surgical simulators. The main focus will be on new approaches of interactive tissue deformation computation in medical training systems. There is a possibility for collaboration with an industrial partner in this framework. Candidates should have earned a Master or Diploma degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or other related fields. Good knowledge in physically-based simulation is expected. In addition, some experience with surgical simulation is of advantage. Further, knowledge of virtual/augmented reality and computer haptics is also a plus. Experience and knowledge in C/C++ programming is expected, as well as a good level in English, both written and spoken. Candidates should send electronically an application with complete CV, grades and transcripts, relevant certificates, and links to relevant prior publications via email.
