The University of Siegen offers an excellent study and research environment encompassing humanities and social sciences, as well as economics, natural sciences and engineering and numerous interdisciplinary research projects. In the Research Training Group "Imaging New Modalities", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and hosted by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Siegen, the following vacancies are to be filled until October 1st, 2009: 5 Research Scientists (full position, wage group 13 TV-L) The positions in the Research Training Group are limited to 3 years for research scientists. In case of a positive development of the individual studies, the positions may be prolonged in order to complete the PhD-thesis.

Applicants must be graduated in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or similar (PhD or Master/Diploma) with very good or excellent grade. We expect good English knowledge. The scientific career of the applicant should have a relation to the main topics of the Research Training Group, i. e. to sensorics (optics, range sensing, THz, multi-spectral imaging), sensor data processing (fusion or analysis of mono- and multi-modal data streams, visual analysis) or security (person recognition, material identification and biometrics, information security). Candidates will be given the opportunity to work on their PhD-thesis. The University of Siegen is an equal-opportunity employer and seeks to raise the amount of women involved in research and teaching. Thus, the application of adequately qualified women is encouraged. Applications from handicapped persons are encouraged. The application and selection procedure is web-based.
