Sweden : PhD student in Media technology with focus on halftoning and tonal reproduction

Colour Printing 7.0: Next Generation Multi-Channel Printing (CP7.0) is a training and research project funded by Marie Curie - Initial Training Networks (ITN). The project will be executed in collaboration with 6 full network partners and 8 associated partners from academia and industry throughout Europe. The project addresses a significant demand for research, training and innovation in the printing industry. In the research project, new methods and models for spectral colour reproduction will be developed, exploring the possibilities of using more than the conventional four colorants in colour printing. The aim is to train a new generation of printing scientists who will be able to assume science and technology leadership in this established technological sector.
Halftoning algorithms and colour prediction models are well defined for conventional colour printing, using four colorants. Adding additional colorants with the aim of reproducing the spectral reflectance of the original will introduce a number of additional challenges to be solved, for the halftoning technology, as well as for the modeling of halftone colour reproduction. The sub project Halftoning and tonal reproduction, carried out at Linköping University, will focus on the development of halftoning algorithms and tonal reproduction models for multi-channel printing. The research will be carried out in collaboration with other researchers from the CP7.0 network, and the PhD student will undertake secondments to other project partners for 5-6 months during the project.
A person employed as a graduate student must primarily engage in postgraduate studies. A graduate student may, however, work limited with education, research and administration. Such work may, before the doctorate was awarded, not exceed 20 percent of full time.

Eligibility
In accordance to the eligibility regulations for Marie Curie ITNs imposed by the EU, the applicant to be appointed must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the host organisation’s country (Sweden) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the appointment date. Short stays such as holidays are not taken into account. At the time of recruitment, applicants must be in the first four years (full time equivalent) of their research careers, and have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree.
The candidate should have a MSc degree (or equivalent) in media technology, computer science, electrical engineering, or other relevant field. The candidate is expected to have a strong background in mathematics and programming, as well as strong analytical and communication skills. Any past experience in related areas, such as colour science, image processing or printing technology will be evaluated positively. Fluency in English is a prerequisite.
Eligible for appointment as a graduate student is only the adoption or one that already has been admitted to graduate studies.

Equal terms
Linköping University shall continue to develop as an attractive and creative work place characterized by equality and therefore works actively to equality and diversity. Most of our students in the department are men, women are given preference when filling this position, at essentially equal merit in other respects.

Appointment
The first appointment to a maximum of one year. Appointment may be renewed a maximum of two years each. A person may be employed as a graduate student for a maximum of eight years. The total employment may not be longer than the equivalent of doctoral studies full-time for four years.

Access
According to agreement (the position is available immediately).

Salary
Starting salary for holders of graduate employment is regulated by and for the department locally agreed wage ladder.
