Research Associate - Method development for visual analysis of CT data

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around 30 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 2.9 billion euros.

At the »Fraunhofer Development Center X-ray Technology EZRT«, we develop modern cognitive sensor systems that generate comprehensive data from test objects. Our research group »Knowledge-based Image Processing« in Passau makes a significant contribution to this: We develop methods that enable an easy handling of the data, as well as their analysis, and ultimately a profound understanding about these data. Our current research and development work focuses on the visual analysis of data generated by computed tomography. Application areas can be found in the visual analysis of new materials, the inspection of large data sets (e.g., of entire cars), and in the processing for domain experts (e.g., for archaeological objects).

Are you in the visual analysis of computed tomography (CT) data?
If so, take a look at our job opening!

What you will do

You will develop new analysis and visualization techniques and test them on our clientele's data.
For this purpose, you will design and implement visual computing methods, either in the area of data preparation (e.g., segmentation, feature extraction, etc.) or in the area of data visualization (e.g., volumetric visualization, visual analytics, augmented and virtual reality, etc.).
You will then evaluate your designed methods on real data, thus checking them on their practicability.
To lead your projects to success, you will work closely with experts in the fields of X-ray computed tomography, image processing, visualization, visual and immersive analytics, software development, and marketing.

What you bring to the table

University degree (Master) in IT / computer science – career starters with relevant prior knowledge and experience from internships, student research projects or final theses are also very welcome!
Very good programming skills, preferably C/C++ and Python
Confident handling of software development tools and also visual computing know-how
First experience in the field of computed tomography is a plus
Fluency in written and spoken German and English
