Subject: Research fellowships available From: Davide Rocchesso <rocchesso(at)SCI.UNIVR.IT> Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 09:56:58 +0100Vision, Image Processing, and Sound Laboratory Dipartimento Scientifico e Tecnologico Universit=E0 degli Studi di Verona Verona, ITALY *** RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE *** Due to success in EU funding, we are seeking to fill two vacancies as soon as possible. Applications are invited for two Research Fellowships (graduates and postdocs) on the European IST-FET project SOb. The SOb (S-ounding Ob-ject) 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 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. Expected inception of employment: January-February 2000 Please send a CV in electronic form or any questions to: Davide Rocchesso (rocchesso(at)sci.univr.it) -- Davide Rocchesso Dipartimento Scientifico e Tecnologico Universita' degli Studi di Verona http://www.sci.univr.it/~rocchess
