> RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE
>
>
> Due to success in EU funding, we are seeking to fill a number of
> vacancies as soon as possible.
>
>
> Applications are invited for several Research Fellowships (graduates
> and postdocs) position on the EU projects ARROV and SOb. The length of
> these appointments are from 2-3 years, although shorter periods may be
> considered in certain circumstances.
>
>
> The aim of the ARROV (Augmented Reality for Remotely Operated Vehicles
> based on 3D acoustical and optical sensors for underwater inspection
> and survey) project is the development of Remotely Operated Vehicles
> (ROVs) for inspection, monitoring and survey of underwater
> environments and manmade installations (as oil rigs). In particular,
> the VIPS laboratory is involved in work on augmented reality interface
> and 3D model acquisition from both acoustic and optical sensors.
>
>
> The SOb (the Sounding Object) project aims at developing versatile and
> efficient sound models that are based on the physics of
> sound-generating phenomena, thus being easily integrated within
> artefacts and appliances that interact physically with humans. The
> SOb project is part of the IST-FET Disappearing Computer proactive
> initiative.
>
>
> Applicants should hold, or expect to hold by the appointment date, a
> degree in either computer science, computer engineering, physics or a
> related scientific discipline. Good programming and scientific writing
> skills are essential. A PhD or previous research experience will be an
> advantage. The candidates, who are expected to work in a international
> framework, should have good familiarity with written and spoken
> english.
>
>
> The successful candidates for the ARROV positions should have
> competencies in image processing and analysis. Specific experience
> in 3D computer vision and computer graphics will be appreciated.
>
>
> The successful candidates for the SOb positions should have
> competencies in audio signal processing and sound synthesis.
> Specific experience in physical modeling or auditory display will
> be appreciated.

>
> The Vision, Image Processing, and Sound (VIPS) Laboratory was
> established in the Dipartimento Scientifico e Tecnologico at the
> University of Verona in 1999 with the goal of doing theoretical and
> applied research in the fields of Computer Vision, Image Processing
> and Sound Processing. Our research is focused both on investigating
> the underlying scientific principles and on the application to
> problems of real-world importance. The VIPS laboratory includes
> currently 2 faculty members and 4 research assistants and PhD
> students.
