Research Officer Wanted!!

I know this is totally not 'makeup' at all but my supervisor needs another RO for his new project. If u're interested pls contact him directly. These are the details :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research officer (RO) position is available at the Faculty of Engineering (FOE), Multimedia University, Cyberjaya.

Project Title: Analysis and development of shape extraction algorithms for trademark image search system application

Project Leader: Dr. Mohammad Faizal bin Ahmad Fauzi (faizal1@mmu.edu.my)

Project Objectives:
• To design, implement and evaluate shape analysis algorithms for trademark images.
• To develop a system for searching trademark images and examining trademark applications and registration.
• To develop multidimensional indexing techniques and to incorporate them into the retrieval system in order to speed up search time for the large trademark image database.

Job Description:
• The salary will be RM1800 per month + EPF (12%) + SOCSO,
• Position available starting 1st April 2009, period of tenure will be 18 months,
• The RO must help the project leader in all work associated with the project,
• The RO has to register for Master by Research program (MEngSc) with MMU.

Requirements:
• Sufficient background in signal and image processing and/or indexing fields,
• Good programming skills, particularly MATLAB and C/C++,
• Good English proficiency,
• Self-motivated, requires minimal supervision, resourceful and willing to learn.

For potential candidate interested to apply for the RO position, please send your CV directly to Dr. Mohammad Faizal at his email address by 10th March 2009. Enquiries should also be forwarded to the above email address. Only short-listed candidates will be called for
interview.
