[ICS-2404] Call for expression of interest for one (1) position, for a Computer Scientist or Engineer

We seek one experienced member for our team, one Computer Scientist or Engineer, with background in European and/or National ICT RTD projects, to contribute to the research and development activities of the COLOURS - Collaborative On-cloud Lab for the conservation and digital restoration of ColOUred heritage collectionS project (Grant Agreement number: 101233413), funded under HORIZON-CL2-2024-HERITAGE-ECCCH-01-05.Preserving Europe’s cultural heritage requires advanced digital tools that enable seamless collaboration among curators, conservators, and scientists. These tools must preserve primary data referenced to digital representations and twins and maintain documentation of analysis and reasoning processes. They must also preserve “raw” primary data to ensure accuracy and integrity and support future analysis techniques as the methods evolve. Colour, a key element of cultural heritage, is critical to understanding the historical and artistic significance of artefacts. However, its preservation faces challenges such as fading, alteration or loss. Events like the Notre Dame fire highlight the need for adaptive collaborative environments, while public reaction to the Sistine Chapel restoration highlights the importance of tools that predict and communicate restoration results. Building on 2 years of research and development conducted under PERCEIVE, the project aims to make a major contribution to the digital transition of cultural heritage conservation and restoration by developing integrated colour analysis and restoration tools tailored to diverse artefacts, including polychrome sculptures, paintings, textiles, historic films and photographs. These tools, fully interoperable with the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage, will provide high-precision analysis, simulate restoration results with perceptual accuracy, and support interdisciplinary collaboration through hybrid spaces that merge virtual and physical environments. These spaces will enable real-time interaction with the digital twins , fostering inclusive decision-making among conservators, curators, and scientists, while ensuring accessibility for remote participants. In addition, the project seeks to enhance public engagement by leveraging mixed reality technologies and digital storytelling to showcase restored colours and convey the authenticity of artefacts, promoting a deeper appreciation of CH.

[ICS-2403] Call for expression of interest for one (1) position of student enrolled to a University MSc Program in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering

We seek one (1) student enrolled to a University MSc Program in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering. The candidate will participate in the R&D activities of FORTH in the context of the EuroHPC JU-funded project NET4EXA. The NET4EXA project aims to create an advanced interconnect, which will scale to hundreds of thousands of computing nodes and will support modern HPC systems that are designed for massive AI tasks, such as the training of Large Language Models. The interconnect forms the backbone of such systems, and their overall performance is intimately tied to the scalability of the network and its tight coupling with the high-end compute elements Requirements • Enrolled to a University graduate MSc Program in Computer Science or Computer Engineering • Physical presence at FORTH, Heraklion, Crete for the duration of the position • Demonstrated experience with the C language. • Demonstrated knowledge with the runtime environment and compilations tools for HPC accelerators, such as NVIDIA GPU’s. • Demonstrated knowledge with workload-driven evaluation of GPU accelerators using AI frameworks, such a PyTorch or TensorFlow. • Demonstrated experience with communication protocols and abstractions for high-speed interconnects that provide RDMA-based operations. • Fluent knowledge of English. • Names of at least three professional references
