	   Post-doc & PhD position in digital watermarking.

	      DIGITAL WATERMARKING AND DOCUMENT SECURITY

Applications are invited for  two positions as postdoctoral researcher
and PhD student (research/teaching assistant) with the Computer Vision
Group  (CVGroup)  of  the  Centre  Universitaire  Informatique  (CUI),
University of  Geneva, Switzerland.  The successful applicant  will be
part of a well established  team of researchers developing new methods
for  the watermarking  of images  and  video sequences.  This work  is
carried  out  in collaboration  with  our  industrial partner  Digital
Copyright   Technologies  (DCT,   Zurich),  a   Swiss   company  which
specializes in  multimedia security.  In addition to  watermarking the
prototype  application includes novel  security features  this partner
has  developed  (e.g. legal  binding  of  copyright  on the  basis  of
cryptographic  techniques).   Our  overall  aim  is  to  produce  fast
transparent solutions that address the  real needs of users of Digital
Multimedia in the Information Age.

The candidate for the postdoctoral  position is expected to have a PhD
in  computer  science or  closely  related  field  and have  a  strong
background  in any  of the  following areas:  watermarking algorithms,
image   and  video  coding   or  pattern   recognition,  communication
theory. The expertise of the  ideal applicant should fit the following
profile in decreasing order of importance:

 o image and video watermarking
 o statistical image processing
 o digital communications
 o image and video compression and coding
 o signal theory
 o cryptography
 o computer vision

SALARY for a post-doctoral researcher:  59'806 CHF - or more according
to experience.


The candidate for a PhD student  position is expected to have a Master

names and addresses of  three referees.  If sufficient mutual interest
develops then referees will  be contacted to ascertain suitability for
the position.

LANGUAGE: French is the spoken language in Geneva so some knowledge of
French is necessary, as well as the willingness to learn more.
