[Imageworld] Faculty Position at University College London

[Anthony Steed]

The Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL) 
seeks applications for an academic faculty position in the area of 
computer graphics and virtual environments, at the rank of Lecturer, 
Senior Lecturer, or Reader (the first equivalent to Assistant Professor 
and the latter two equivalent to Associate Professor in the US system), 
commensurate with qualifications and experience. We are looking for 
internationally outstanding researchers who also have an enthusisam for 
teaching and communicating ideas.

The Department has broad strength in computer science with a strong 
orientation to 'experimental computer science'. The Virtual Environments 
and Computer Graphics (VECG) group works in the broad area of virtual 
environments, in particular real-time global illumination, image-based 
rendering, 3D interaction, tracking, real-time systems and augmented 
reality. The group conducts fundamental graphics algorithms and systems 
research and underpins this with user studies to evaluate the impact 
that technological developments have.

We expect new faculty to contribute to the group and the Department's 
research profile, complementing existing work and skills. We would 
highlight areas such as computer animation, modelling, video-based 
rendering, perception of graphics and networked graphics.

The Department has excellent laboratory facilities to support research, 
including a tracked CAVE-like facility, a motion capture system, a 
variety of high-end image generators, haptics systems, physiological 
monitoring equipment and eyetrackers. There are also strong 
collaborative networks across college in vision-related sciences, 
cultural heritage, urban modelling, psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
