RESEARCH ASSISTANT Post REF: ROP2306

24,402 - 26,666 per annum, (english pounds) depending on skills and
experience. In first instance fixed term for 1 year (maternity cover).

This post is funded via the EPSRC award "High Dynamic Range for High
Fidelity Image Synthesis of Real Scenes". The aim of this project is to
compute and display the highest fidelity computer-generated images of 
real scenes.
You should have proven programming skills in C++ or Matlab and
enthusiasm for problem solving and research. Under the guidance of Dr 
Bloj you will develop a BRDF (Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution 
Function) capture system based on digital photography, implement the 
corresponding model in a rendering package (preferably RADIANCE) and 
support the psychophysical evaluation of the resulting images using 
standard displays and a Brightside DR37-P High Dynamic Range Display.
This represents an exciting opportunity for a promising researcher to 
join a vibrant interdisciplinary team with partners at the Warwick 
Digital Lab and Brightside (now part of DOLBY) working on the 
development and validation of High Dynamic Range capture and display 
systems.
The successful applicant will be based in Dr Bloj's lab in the 
University of Bradford, UK.

Informal enquires can be made to Dr Marina Bloj. Tel +44 (0)1274 236258;
e-mail: M.Bloj at bradford.ac.uk or Dr Alexa Ruppertsberg +44 (01274
