We are looking for a project researcher with interests in visual perception and/or image processing to join our digital holography research team at University of Oulu. The successful applicant will work on projects according to their interests related to either visual perception of, or processing of, digital holographic video on three-dimensional (3D) displays.
Applicants are expected to have a bachelors or masters degree, and are expected to have previously undertaken studies and/or research in an area closely related to either visual perception or image processing. Candidates are expected to have good spoken and written English. A two-year position is offered. The salary will be according to the applicant's experience and qualifications, and will be determined by the standard Finnish state salary scale for "Other personnel", level 7 - 9 (€1907 - €3629 per month).
Digital holograms of real-world objects are an exciting new form of 3D media, to which visual perception and 3D image processing studies are only now being applied. We offer a research opportunity in international multipartner multidisciplinary projects on digital hologram displays. Opportunities will exist to conduct research at partner institutions in Europe, travel to relevant summer schools, and to present research results at international conferences. The field will allow a suitably motivated person to publish milestone journal papers, and contribute to developing cutting edge technology. We welcome applicants who would like to undertake this position as part of their Ph.D. studies.
The research projects are funded by the Academy of Finland, and by European Commission Framework Programme 7 under the eight-partner collaborative project Real 3D. For more information, consult the Real 3D project webpage www.digitalholography.eu. The research will be conducted primarily at the RFMedia-laboratory of Oulu Southern Institute, which is a regional unit of University of Oulu. The RFMedia-laboratory is a dynamic multidisciplinary research environment, located in the town of Ylivieska, hosting collaborations between researchers from both academic and applied universities.
