POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW POSITION
IN VISUAL PERCEPTION AND/OR IMAGE PROCESSING (RFMLab-101)

We are looking for 1-2 postdoctoral researcher(s) until the end of  
January 2011 with a background in visual perception and/or image  
processing to join our digital holography research team at University  
of Oulu. The researcher(s) would work on projects related to visual  
perception of video on three-dimensional (3D) displays.

The researcher could have expertise in eye tracking (EyeLink II),  
visual perception research methods, and ideally in 3D perception  
including stereoscopic perception. They should also have an interest  
in learning about digital holography and novel display technologies.  
The job would be suitable for a postdoctoral researcher.

Alternatively, the researcher should have a proven track record in  
image processing/analysis related research (postdoctoral-level) and an  
interest in visual perception research. Ideally, the researcher should  
have research expertise in areas related to computer vision,  
three-dimensional image processing, and/or optical image processing.  
Experience of assembling precision data capture systems (combining  
cameras, mounts, and illumination) would be an advantage.

The salary will be according to the applicant's experience and  
qualifications, and will be determined by the standard Finnish  
university salary scale for "Teaching and research staff ", level 5 ?  
6 (basic salary of ? 2636 - ? 3132 per month) in addition, a salary  
component based on personal work performance will be paid up to  
maximum total salary of ? 4583 on level 6.

Digital holograms of real-world objects are an exciting new form of 3D  
media, to which visual perception studies are only now being applied.  
We offer a research opportunity in international multipartner  
multidisciplinary projects on digital hologram displays. The projects  
will allow a suitably motivated person to publish milestone journal  
papers, and contribute to developing cutting-edge technology.

Our primary research project is funded by the European Commission's  
Framework Programme 7 under an nine-partner collaborative project. 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. The University of Oulu is an  
international science community, whose core strength lies in  
multidisciplinary basic research. Founded in 1958, the University of  
Oulu is among the largest in Finland and has an exceptionally wide  
scientific base. According to the Academic Ranking of World  
Universities 2009, University of Oulu is ranked as number two in  
Finland.

Further information about the position and the research project can be  
obtained from Real 3D scientific leader Thomas Naughton  
([log in to unmask]) and project manager Taina Lehtimäki

Applicants should send (in PDF format) a cover letter, a curriculum  
vitae including full list of publications, and the contact details of  
three referees to the University of Oulu registrar's office by e-mail  
([log in to unmask]) with subject line "RFMLab-101". Applications should  
be received by Tuesday 16th of February 2010 at 15:00 EET.
