Dear Morphmed Moderator,
we have a job announcement for an EVAN doctoral fellowship and would like it
to be posted
on your website (similar to the already posted fellowship for the
Senckenberg Institute).
Thank You and Kind Regards
here's the text:
Doctoral Fellowship: Optical 3D-metrology of human faces and bodies -
technical adaptation and pattern analysis of biological shape variation
In the framework of the EU-Project “European Virtual Anthropology Network
(EVAN)” the Breuckmann GmbH invites applications for an early stage
researcher Marie Curie fellowship in the field of optical 3D-metrology of
human faces and bodies. The position is dedicated to the optimization of
optical 3D-metrology to data acquisition of human surface models, and
subsequently to the study of human biological form.
As an interdisciplinary doctoral research project, this fellowship is a
joint appointment with the Department of Anthropology, University of Vienna.
Therefore, this position has a strong need for transfer of knowledge between
these two institutions as well as between the other EVAN partners. The
Breuckmann GmbH is known for its pioneering work in the development of
optical 3D-topometry, the Department of Anthropology for its advances in
geometric morphometric methods (study of shape variations in biological
data).
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. university (or comparable) degree in either
informatics, mathematics, electronics, physics, or similar fields of
science, with formal professional training or extensive experience in one or
more of the following areas: programming (C++), algorithm development, Open
GL, 3D-data processing, digital image analysis, remote sensing, multivariate
statistics, computational geometry, human biology, morphometrics.
The candidate should want to work on the following topics:
1. testing and optimizing sensor technology, including hardware and software
development
2. development of algorithms for hole filling on human model data
3. development of an adaptive human template for reconstruction of
incomplete digitized human models
4. principles in growth and development, craniofacial biology, human biology
5. handling of geometric morphometric methods and tools
6. surface data collection from living subjects
7. specification (and interactive/automatic digitization) of 3D-landmark
sets (points and curves) for somatometric facial measures
8. a preliminary quantification of soft tissue maturation, aging, and sexual
dimorphism patterns using geometric morphometric methods
9. creation of 3D morphs
10. transmission of surface data to the EVAN archive
11. compilation of a tutorial for somatometric 3D data acquisition, and
dissemination of findings
According to EU regulations for the appointment of an Early Stage Researcher
the M.Sc. or equivalent access to doctoral studies may not date back more
than 4 years and the applicants must hold a citizenship others than German.
EU funding for a temporary EVAN fellow position, including Living allowance
~ € 2642/month (including employers contribution) + travel allowance between
€ 250,- and 2500,- per year (depending on distance) + mobility allowance per
month € 519,- or € 830,4 (single or married ) + career exploration
allowances € 2000,- once after one year and participation expenses max. €
400,- per month will be available for 24 months, scheduled to begin in July
2006. Applications should include cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of
publications, reprints of selected publications, short statements of
research experience and interests. We particularly encourage women to
participate in this application.
Deadline for applications is 31/05/2006.
They should be addressed to: Dr. Bernd Breuckmann, Breuckmann GmbH,
Torenstraße 14, 88709 Meersburg, Germany
