The HCI lab at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand (www.hci.otago.ac.nz) has one post-doc and two PhD positions available.
The
HCI lab is co-lead by Prof. Holger Regenbrecht and Assoc. Prof. Tobias
Langlotz and has its main focus on research in the field of Virtual and
Augmented Realities. We are in particularly
active in telepresence research (sense of presence, telepresence),
vision augmentations and computational glasses (enhancing human vision
and compensating visual impairments using AR technology), and
interaction within continuous and omnipresent AR environments
(Pervasive AR). We have many exciting collaborations with other leading
international labs and our works are frequently published top venues
for VR and AR research such as ACM CHI, IEEE VR, IEEE ISMAR, IEEE TVCG,
etc.
Positions:
We are looking at the moment for one postdoctoral researcher and two PhD students.
Postdoctoral researcher:
We
are looking for someone who has interest and experience to support us
with our research in particular on Vision Augmentations or on
interactions in continuous and omnipresent AR environments.
It is envisioned that the candidate helps to shape the research and
adds new facets to our lab. The candidate should have a PhD degree in
Computer Science or related disciplines with a focus on Visual Computing
(Computer Graphics, Computer Vision), Human-Computer
Interaction, or Wearable Computing. However, we will also consider
candidates with other degrees if they fit within the team (e.g. Physics,
Mathematics, or Psychology). In any case we would expect a great team
player with good research skills evidenced by
a track record of publications, and a proficiency in English. The
position is for a period over 2 years and the salary is 75,896NZD per
year.
The application deadline is the 23.06.2019 and applications are via the university recruitment system:
Two PhD positions:
We
are looking for students who are interested in topics on either vision
augmentations using AR technology or telepresence solutions for
indigenous groups. The former requires solid technical
skills such as a good background in either Computer Graphics, HCI, or
Computer Vision and existing skills in programming in C dialects (C,
C++, C#, …). The latter requires familiarity with the foundations in
Computer Graphics and HCI. Experience with Unity
3D or Unreal engine is not required but a plus. Both positions are for 3
years and they are fully paid (study fees and living expenses).
The
initial deadline for the PhD positions is 23.06.2019 but later
applications will be considered in case the positions could not be
filled. Applications should be sent via email to Tobias
Langlotz (tobias.langlotz@otago.ac.nz).
In
case you are interested in joining the University of Otago at a later
point in time and work with us, there are also always PhD scholarships
available for highly talented students. Please

University of Otago and Dunedin:
The University of Otago (www.otago.ac.nz)
is located in Dunedin (New Zealand, South Island) and is NZ oldest and
most research intense university.
We have around 21,000 students including more than 2,800 international
students and around 4,000 staff working in 4 divisions. All this on a
campus a few walking minutes from the town center and within a short car
ride to some of NZ best surf beaches and wildlife
attractions such as the Otago Peninsula. Queenstown, Wanaka and the
Southern Alps are also easily accessible from Dunedin and there are
several daily flights to other centres in NZ or Australia. If you are
not convinced yet have a look at the Dunedin YouTube
channel for more impressions: https://www.youtube.com/user/DunedinNZofficial/
In case you have questions please do not hesitate and contact me via email (tobias.langlotz@otago.ac.nz) for more information or
a short video chat.
