Mid Sweden University has in the Industrial IT and digital services, an extensive research in the field of ubiquitous media over networks as well as distributed sensor and user information. Research in the group for realistic 3D visualization is mainly focused on capturing, coding and quality evaluation of stereoscopic and multi-view 3D images and video. We are now looking for a graduate student that shall study algorithms for compression (encoding) of visual 3D video, and to some extent capture methods for such media. More information is available at www.miun.se/sr/3d.
Duties: As a PhD student, your main task is to pursue research and graduate studies. An interest in mathematical formulation and analysis, and programming is required. The work is of theoretical nature with elements of computer simulations and some experimental work. The work will also involve close cooperation with industrial partners and international contacts.
Jurisdiction: Qualified for application is student who before 1st of June 2007 has completed basic education of at least 120 credits and advanced courses of at least 60 credits, or alternatively, who after 1st of June 2007 have passed an examination at advanced level or have completed course requirements of at least 240 ECTS credits, including at least 60 credits at advanced level. In addition, the applicant shall have at least 90 ECTS credits in relevant research discipline or corresponding knowledge. Good knowledge of English, both orally and in writing, is a requirement. Master of Science degree in electrical engineering, computer science or engineering physics is an appropriate background for employment.
Selection: In addition to the formal qualifications, selection is also based on other works (e.g. thesis), and advanced level courses, and through interviews of applicants. Besides good subject knowledge, emphasis will be on creative thinking, co ability, initiative to work independently and personal suitability for research training. Previous experience of coding practices and / or 3D visualization is meritorious.
Employment: This PhD student post is primarily a 2,5-year employment and is expected to lead to a licentiate degree. Employment may be extended up to the doctorate, provided that additional financing is obtained. Location: Sundsvall.
Duties commencement: 1 January 2011, or by appointment.
