[Dieter Schmalstieg]

Independent Junior Research Group Leader (f/m/d): Mediated Reality

UNIVERSITY OF STUTTGART | AS SOON AS POSSIBLE | TV-L E14 | FULL-TIME

The University of Stuttgart invites applications for the position of 
Independent Junior Research Group Leader (f/m/d) in Mediated Reality. 
The position is associated with the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship 
of Visual Computing and the Cluster of Excellence on Integrative 
Computational Design and Construction for Architecture (IntCDC). It will 
be hosted by VISUS, the University of Stuttgart's Visualization Research 
Center.

Mediated Reality is an emerging new field concerned with adding, 
altering or subtracting information from one's visual perception of 
reality through computer-based displays. As a superset of virtual, mixed 
and augmented reality, mediated reality has various applications ranging 
from industry, medicine, assistive technologies to telepresence.

To complement our research activities, we are seeking a highly motivated 
young scientist with an excellent PhD degree, an outstanding 
early-career track record and substantial international research 
experience in Mediated Reality and related fields. We expect a 
successful candidate to blend into the research environment of VISUS and 
IntCDC and make contributions to the research programs in these communities.

To support the development of the new Junior Research Group, funds will 
initially be provided for up to three years, including the group leader 
position (TV-L E14), funds for PhD projects (TV-L E13), as well as 
startup and annual budgets. The research group will be embedded into 
VISUS and benefit from its support structures and from the IntCDC 
instrumentation and labs. As the working language of the involved 
researchers is English, German language skills are not required. The 
start date is as soon as possible, but can be adjusted to suit the 
availability of the successful candidate.
