- metadata management
- multimedia computing

The position starts as soon as possible and is full-time (40h/week) for the duration of the project until Oct 2011.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The successful candidate will tightly work with international partners and has the possibility to pursue PhD work within the scope of the project.
