The Spatial Intelligence Lab (<a href="http://sil.uni-muenster.de/" target="_blank">http://sil.uni-muenster.de/</a>)
invites applications for a *Research Associate in Spatial Intelligence
(Doctoral Researcher or Post-Doctoral Researcher, E 13 TV-L) * in one
of our research projects. We are seeking either a doctoral or
post-doctoral researcher. The salary level is E 13 TV-L, which amounts
to approximately 3450-4000€ gross (depending on experience). This
fixed-term post is available for a one-year period, but can be extended.
Currently, the regular full employment time is 39 hours and 50 minutes
per week. Teaching load is 4 hours per week for a full-time position.<br>
<br>
Research Project: Wayfinding Through Orientation<br>
This research project aims at a new wayfinding paradigm that supports
users in orientation, spatial learning, and cognitive mapping. We
analyze human wayfinding instructions, elicit information supporting
orientation and develop new ways to present these instructions. We
conduct wayfinding experiments and developing prototypes for mobile
wayfinding assistance systems using orientation information. Further
information on <a href="http://wayto.uni-muenster.de/" target="_blank">http://wayto.uni-muenster.de</a>.<br>
<br>
Research Project: Spatial Learning<br>
This research project aims at supporting children and young adults in
advancing their spatial competencies. We develop technology-supported
games to train users in spatial competencies such as self-orientation,
wayfinding, and mapping. Besides children, future interest groups
involve elderly people as well. We develop tools for spatial learning
such as educational games based on geo-technologies and conduct on-site
user studies.<br>
<br>
Research Project: SketchMapia<br>
SketchMapia is a framework for collecting, automatically analyzing and
integrating information from (hand-drawn) sketch maps into geographic
information systems. Sketch maps are an intuitive way to communicate
spatial information that does not require any cartographic and
technological expertise and has high potential for volunteered
geographic information. We analyze spatial information through
qualitative spatial analysis techniques. Further information on <a href="http://www.sketchmapia.de/" target="_blank">www.sketchmapia.de</a><br>
<br>
Applicants should have a keen interest in interdisciplinary research and
a background in at least one of the following disciplines: GI Science,
computer science, or cognitive science. Applicants should submit a CV
and a 1-page statement of interest specifying which research project(s)
they are interested in, how their interests/expertise would contribute
to the project, and outline the preferred starting time. The University
of Münster is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to
increasing the proportion of women academics. Consequently, we actively
encourage applications by women. Female candidates with equivalent
qualifications and academic achievements will be preferentially
considered within the framework of the legal possibilities. We also
welcome applications from candidates with disabilities. Disabled
candidates with equivalent qualifications will be preferentially
considered.<br>
