Odense M
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, invites applications for a PhD position focusing on visual interface design in the context of an EU-funded MEMORISE project. This project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 101061016.
The proposed starting date is 1 July 2023. The hired candidate will be part of the Centre for Visual Data Science as well as the Data Science and Statistics Group. Application deadline: 19 May 2023.
Candidate Profile
We are looking for highly motivated students interested in designing and developing visual interfaces in an interdisciplinary project with colleagues having backgrounds in related fields of computer science (natural language processing, machine learning) and humanities (history, memory). A major aspect will be the iterative development of solutions together with experts from memorial sites and end users. The ideal candidate has an MSc in Computer or Data Science, and has already gained experience in collaborating with experts from other domains. A minimum requirement is acquired experience in at least one of the following areas:
Experience in writing scientific publications is a plus, and fluency in English is required.
The position is financed by the European research project MEMORISE: “Virtualisation and Multimodal Exploration of Heritage on Nazi Persecution”, which focuses on the development of new digital tools to keep memories on Nazi persecution alive. The candidate will mainly work in the context of a work package focusing on visualization, narration, and learning. The tasks include developing a platform for the quantitative visual exploration and qualitative analysis of historical materials related to Nazi persecution such as diaries or testimonials. For this purpose, geo-temporal visualizations should arrange those materials in an appropriate historical context, and a novel map-based network should make the Nazi transportation infrastructure visible.
We will further develop a comparative reader to allow the parallel reading of Nazi persecution experiences, and we will explore new ways of storytelling enabled for the first time by AI-based services tailored to the users’ own off-site and on-site experiences. This includes creating and working with 3D models of memorial sites that will be enriched with memories from eyewitnesses.
For further information on the project, please contact Associate Professor Stefan Jänicke, [email protected].
Application, salary etc.
Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period.
The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement on salaried PhD scholars between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Please check links for more information on salary and taxation.
The successful candidate will be enrolled at this university in accordance with faculty regulations and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme at the Universities (PhD order).
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Application must be in English and made in the form of a Declaration of Interest including the following:
Shortlisting may be used in the assessment process.
