JOB ANNOUNCEMENT
VACANCIES FOR TWO RESEARCH ASSOCIATES IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
IMAGE PROCESSING AND COMPUTER NETWORKS
&
DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS AND MULTIMEDIA
The Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus has two
new positions for a Research Associate within the research project
"Electronic Roads in the Information Society (ERIS)" funded by the
University of Cyprus and external sources. The positions are initially
for one (1) year renewable up to three (3) years. The annual salary
for a Research Associate is at the A8 scale (about CY # 9,000 but the
exact amount will depend on qualifications and prior experience).
[At present CY #1 = 1.2 sterling and CY #1 = 1.9 US dollars,
approximately.]
Project ERIS aims to develop and bring together studies from the areas
of high speed computer networks, distributed and multimedia systems
and digital libraries to provide a solid foundation for the
technological building of electronic roads that can be used for
cultural and historical exploration both in space and time.
The tasks to be undertaken by the first successful applicant (RA-1)
will focus on the design, development and implementation of multimedia
data banks and a high speed networks. H/She will also be involved in
the development of a top level interface that users will be using to
access the system.
The tasks to be undertaken by the other successful applicant (RA-2)
will be focused on designing and implementing a meta-computing
environment for distributed systems that will integrate together and
provide interaction between a number of sub-components, each one of
them responsible for expressing some functionality of the framework to
be developed (dedicated media servers, other special purpose hardware,
general purpose software environments, pre- and post-processing
filters, etc.). H/She will also be involved in the development of a
top level interface that users will be using to access the system.
A suitable candidate for the first category of tasks (RA-1) is
expected to have a PhD (preferably) or otherwise an MSc in Computer
Science or Computer Engineering with emphasis on Image Processing and
Analysis and Computer Networks. Additional work experience or
knowledge on the development of Multimedia Systems and Internet based
technologies, Digital Libraries, and High Speed Multimedia Networks
and working knowledge of simulation tools (e.g. OPNET), will be
considered as an advantage.
A suitable candidate for the second category of tasks (RA-2) is
expected to have a PhD (preferably) or a sufficiently specialised MSc
in Computer Science or related field from an accredited University
with emphasis in one or more of the following areas: Parallel and
Distributed Programming, Coordination Models and Languages, Software
Engineering, Multimedia Systems. H/She is expected to be highly
competent in advanced programming techniques using Unix-based systems.
Experience in having used coordination models and languages, previous
involvement in related projects and knowledge or appreciation of
Multimedia and Internet based technologies (Java, Intranet, CORBA,
CSCW, workflow management, Multimedia modelling, etc.) will be
considered an advantage.
Anyone interested should apply including a CV together with a short
description of their research interests and background to the address
below. Furthermore, the applicant should arrange so that three
reference letters in support of his/her application are also sent to
the same address. These documents may be written in Greek and/or
English.
