[Metalab] wer von uns ist eigentlich auf der suche nach wissenschaftlicher karriere? [Fwd: OPEN PhD POSITIONs: Semantic Multimedia / Video Analysis / Information Retrieval at HPI Potsdam, Germany]

Mon Oct 5 15:56:20 CEST 2009

Hallo lab,

job-descriptions sind ja eigentlich SPAM, aber ich leite das mal weiter 
mit einem hintergedanken:

wer den willen hat, mal eine wissenschaftliche karriere zu machen, 
sollte sich ja irgendwo eine PhD stelle suchen um das gut machen zu 
können ... ich bekomme da andauernd jobs zugeschickt, bin ja auf vielen 
listen.... Ich war in den letzten fünf jahren in dem ganzen 
EU-Projekt-phd-machen-publizieren-arbeiten werk drin und kenn mich da 
jetzt aus,  wer tipps braucht, ich rede gern und viel :-)

folgende weitergeleitete stelle ist nett weil:
HPI hat gute Leute, nähe berlin, gute finanzmittel (mit österreichischen 
unis nicht zu vergleichen, aber wahrscheinlich auch besser als viele 
österreichische forschungszentren, aber das sind Fraunhofer und DFKI auch..)
und ich kenn den verantwortlichen, der hat die Aura von "wir nennen es 
arbeit" und ist wissenschaftlich gut drauf -

Hi,
if somebody feels like moving to beautiful Potsdam (HPI is located right 
at the city boundary of Berlin) to work in a semantic multimedia 
retrieval project, with a lot of semantic web and user interaction 
research being involved, please let me know.

Best regards,
 Harald

research program is on semantic technologies, which determine contents 
(words, images, sounds, and videos) not through conventional methods

place the meaning of a content in its proper context. MEDIAGLOBE deals 
with digitalization, analysis, and semantic retrieval of historical, 
documentary audiovisual content.
