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 - http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/meinel/sack.html lg Leo -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: OPEN PhD POSITIONs: Semantic Multimedia / Video Analysis / Information Retrieval at HPI Potsdam, Germany Weitersenden-Datum: Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:10:24 +0000 Weitersenden-Von: public-semweb-ui@w3.org Datum: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 09:09:54 +0200 Von: Harald Sack <harald.sack@hpi.uni-potsdam.de> An: <public-semweb-ui@w3.org> Apologies for any cross postings ------ 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.
