Are you interested in joining MUSIL as PhD student in the European research project ENVISION? We are looking for graduates (MSc level or equivalent) with a strong background in geoinformatics or computer science.

The ENVISION (environmental services infrastructure with ontologies) project aims to support environmental modeling experts to migrate their computer models into the Web. With envision, it will be possible to create portals which support decision makers to execute and visualize computer models. New environmental models will be created by coupling standards-compliant Web services into compositions. Portal components for the semantic annotation and discovery of Web services, the composition of workflows, and the visualization of model results will be developed. Creating custom portals is then a matter of selecting appropriate modules from the library. The envision project runs until December 2012.

We are looking for graduates (MSc level or equivalent) with a strong background in geoinformatics or computer science. Good communication and writing skills in English are essential. Excellent Java programing skills are mandatory. Candidates should be interested and have some knowledge in one or more of the following topics: Geospatial Semantics, Spatial Data Infrastructures, Environmental Modelling, Data Mining, or Geographic Information Retrieval, Web services, or Human-Computer Interaction.
