****************************************************** MSRC, Orebro University: 
** PhD Opportunity                               
** Alignment between Multi-Agent Simulation and Virtual 3d Worlds
****************************************************

A new 3-years PhD position is immediately available 
at the MSRC, Modeling and Simulation Research 
Center, University of Örebro, Sweden under the 
supervision of Dr. Franziska Kluegl.

The major part of the PhD studies can be dedicated 
to research in connecting different representations 
of the same system during simulation, such as a 
high-detail 3d animation with a less detailed 
Multi-Agent Simulation:
There are several application scenarios for 
Multi-Agent Simulations in that different dynamic 
representations of the same or related systems
have to be connected during simulation: connecting
sensor systems with running simulation or 
simulations with high-detail animation. Basing on
component-based and distributed simulation 
techniques as well as formal treatment of relations 
between agents during the simulation, the PhD 
student's task is it to develop a framework for
aligning different representations on different 
levels of detail in an efficient way. Ideas can be 
tested in interdisciplinary simulation projects for 
example in the area of pedestrian simulation and 
their detailed visualization in Virtual 3d worlds.

In addition to interest in the topic, the ideal 
applicant possesses a strong theoretical background, solid programming skills and communicative skills. 
The applicants should have the equivalent of a 
Masters degree in an appropriate field (for 
example: Intelligent Systems and Robotics, Computer 
Science or Applied Mathematics). 
It is not necessary to be familiar with the Swedish 
language but proficiency in written/spoken English is mandatory.

To apply for the position, please send a motivation 
letter along with an updated CV (including at least 
two academic references) by e-mail to 
Dr. Franziska Kluegl (franziska.klugl at oru.se). 

Applications can be sent immediately and will be 
considered until the position is fixed. 

We are looking forward to your application!
