Post-Doc Position in Multimedia Fragment Repurposing          (M/F)


Research topics

Multimedia Analysis, Mining, Indexing, Media Fragments and Social Media


Department

Multimedia Communications


Start date

First quarter 2013


Duration

12 Months


Description

This position is funded by the European Coordination Action (CA) MediaMixer
which aims to set up and sustain a community of video producers, hosters,
and redistributors who will be supported in the adoption of semantic
multimedia technology in their systems and workflows to build a European
market for media fragment re-purposing and re-selling. While there exists
traditional markets for complete videos, e.g. in stock footage portals,
media libraries or TV archives, where entire videos may be found and also
purchased for re-use in new media production situations, these markets do
not permit the easy purchase or sale of smaller fragments of AV materials
for use in a variety of ways. The MediaMixer CA addresses this deficit by
showing the vision of a media fragment market (the MediaMixer) to the
European media production, library, TV archive, news production, e-learning
and UGC portal industries. MediaMixer will demonstrate the achievable
benefits enabled by the creation, repurposing and reuse of digital contents
across borders on the Web, where media fragments are intelligent digital
objects, identified and classified at a highly granular degree, integrated
with knowledge management, and connected at Web-scale.

The selected candidate will have a chance to enrich his/her expertise in
diverse areas, such as content based multimedia search and retrieval,
multimedia semantics, media fragment and social media. In particular the
successful candidate will work on media fragment mining processes,
participate to demonstrations and training events, and actively take part in
the upbringing of the MediaMixer community.


Requirements

We are looking for candidates who are highly motivated to conduct high
quality research, publish in top venues, eager to develop integrated
demonstrators and keen to tutoring users on high-end state of the art
systems. 

Candidates should have a PhD Degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, or
a closely related area, preferably with a focus on multimedia analysis. They
are also expected to have good analytical skills and some background in the
area of multimedia semantics. Good programming skills are expected. A good
level of written and spoken English is mandatory.


Application

Screening of applications will begin immediately, and the search will
continue until the position is filled. Applicants should send, to the email
address below (i) a CV, (ii) a motivation letter, (iii) contact details for
three referees, (preferably one from your PhD or most recent research
supervisor). (iv) a two page statement of research interests and motivation.

Applications should be submitted by e-mail to [log in to unmask] c/o Dr.
Benoit Huet.
