PhD scholarships in visualisation, Griffith University, Australia

Applications are invited for two full-time PhD scholarships in the area of
visualisation and virtual reality. Each scholarship is worth AU$20k per annum.

The Centre for Active Visualisation (CAV) is a new joint initiative of the
School of Information Technology at Griffith University Gold Coast,
Australia, and the Queensland Parallel Supercomputing Foundation (QPSF).
Located within a new $9M Multimedia Building, facilities at CAV include a
twin screen stereo 3D back projection system, motion tracker, eye tracker,
treadmill, as well as Sun, SGI, PC, and Apple platforms. Projects at CAV
have a multidisciplinary focus and include dynamical systems modelling of
locomotion, especially human gait and automobile driving, virtual
rehabilitation of gait disorders, speech-hand interaction and gestural
communication, and autonomous mobile robots. We are also keen to develop
new projects in haptic devices and multimodal feedback. Applicants should
have a background in computer programming and an interest in scientific
visualisation and multimodal interfaces. Applications from persons with a
background in information technology, computer science, cognitive science,
experimental psychology, complex systems, or human movement science are
particularly welcomed.

The closing date for applications is 19th April. However, submissions will
be accepted until the positions are filled.

Please send covering letter, vitae, reprints, pre-prints or other evidence
of scholarly activity to:
