[DMANET] 15 PhD positions in GRAPES: Learning, Processing & Optimising Shapes

~ apologies for multiple copies ~

We are pleased to announce 15 open PhD Positions within the new European
Network GRAPES <http://grapes-network.eu/>: Learning, Processing and
Optimising Shapes.

GRAPES is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the
framework of H2020, started on December 1st, 2019, and lasting for 4
years. It includes 11 academic/industrial groups offering 15 PhD's, and
6 associated partners; it is coordinated by ATHENA Research & Innovation
Center, Greece.

GRAPES aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in Mathematics,
Computer-Aided Design, and Machine Learning, in order to promote game
changing approaches for generating, optimising, and learning 3D shapes,
along with a multisectoral training for young researchers, supported by
the active participation of SMEs. Recent advances in the above domains
have solved numerous tasks concerning multimedia and 2D data. However,
automation of 3D geometry processing and analysis lags severely behind,
despite their importance in science, technology and everyday life, and
some well-understood underlying mathematical principles. Concrete
applications include simulation, manufacturing and 3D printing,
visualisation and naval design, retrieval and mining, reconstruction and
urban planning.

We offer:
* An exciting research environment, including transnational visits to
academic and industrial participants, and to Network-wide events.
* Full time employment for 3 years, leading to a PhD.
* A competitive monthly salary comprised of living allowance (3270 €,
country coefficient to be applied), mobility allowance (600 €), family
allowance (500 €, depending on status).

Eligible Candidates should:
· Not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country
where the PhD takes place, for more than 12 months in the 3 years
immediately prior to recruitment (unless in a procedure to obtain
refugee status under the Geneva Convention).
· Be in the first 4 years of their research career, and not have a PhD.
· Have a Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or related
field, or an equivalent diploma allowing them to pursue a PhD.

The target starting date is by September 2020, but any date after
January 2020 and until November 2020 is feasible.

procedure, see: http://grapes-network.eu/. <http://grapes-network.eu/>
