[Graphics-net] SAGA: Autumn School & Recruiting

[Ioannis Emiris]

Call for participation:

Recruiting event for PhD and Post-doc positions within the Marie-Curie 
Network SAGA: Shapes, Algebra, Geometry and Algorithms 
(http://www,sintef,no/saga)

and SAGA Workshop & Autumn School
(http://www.sintef.no/Projectweb/SAGA/Summer-school-2008)

November 17-21, 2008, at CIEM, Castro-Urdiales, Spain.

SAGA aims at advancing the scientific and technological state-of-the-art 
in the fields of Algebraic Geometry, Geometric Modeling, and Scientific 
Computing, through the financing of PhD theses and Post-doc positions.

In particular, there is a full-time PhD position and a 9-month Post-doc 
position at the University of Athens, Greece on Algebraic and Geometric 
algorithms and software tools for Computer-Aided Geometric Design. The 
proposed PhD topics are:
- Sparse approximate implicitization of parametric surfaces.
- Algebraic tools, such as resultant algorithms and real solving, for 
geometric constructions.

Start date within the calendar year 2009, net salary of about 1770 Euro 
/ month. For details, see http://www.di.uoa.gr/~erga/collab/call.html.

If you are interested in participating in the above events, you may 
email Ioannis Emiris (emiris at di.uoa.gr). A selection will be made among 
all candidates by the end of October. The selected candidates will have 
their local hotel expenses covered by SAGA. The project shall also 
reimburse travel costs through the University of Athens by early 
January. If you wish to give a talk, then please also send a title and 
abstract in plain text, of up to 800 characters.
