Dear List-members,

we would like to announce the following job offer.
Please feel free to post it in your home institutions.
Thank you very much!

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics seeks a Research
Scientist for the following EU project:

POEMS - Perceptually Oriented Ego-Motion Simulation

This project is part of the new FET Presence Research Initiative of
the EC. In total, four postdocs will work over a period of three years
in close cooperation. Here we look for a qualified researcher from
computer science or engineering to complement the visual based
research in the field of ego-motion perception.

Applicants should have a strong background in one or more of following
techniques or topics:

    Physics
    Computer Science
    Biology
    Psychology
    Psychophysics
    Computer Graphics
    3D Acoustics
    Distributed Systems

Preference will be given to candidates who have conducted
psychophysical work.

The research will be performed using a high level Virtual Reality (VR)
setup which combines stimulation in the vestibular/proprioceptive,
auditory and visual modality. Topics of immersion as well as the
transitions between real and virtual worlds will be on the research
agenda in addition to the main theme of ego-motion perception. The
project starts 1st of November 2002.

The successful candidates will join a dynamic and interdisciplinary
group of scientists performing cutting-edge research on human vision,
computer vision, and Human-Computer Interaction. Further information
about the research environment can be found at our website
(http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de). Informal inquiries can be sent to
Dr. Markus von der Heyde (Markus.von.der.Heyde@tuebingen.mpg.de) and
Bernhard Riecke (Bernhard.Riecke@tuebingen.mpg.de).

The positions are initially funded for 36 month. The salary will be at
the level of BATIIa (appr. 38.000 EURO/year)

To apply, send curriculum vitae, representative publications, and
three letters of recommendation to:

Prof. Dr. Heinrich H. Bülthoff, Director
Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics
Cognitive and Computational Psychophysics Department
Spemannstr. 38
72076 Tübingen, Germany

The Max Planck Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
