- Excellent knowledge of English language.
- Ability to organize and carry out research independently.
- Experience with technology, museums or other heritage sites will be considered an advantage.
- Prior experience in research activities (i.e. publication record, submitting research proposals, participating in research programs) will be considered as an additional qualification.
The application should include a letter of interest or statement of purpose written in English or Greek, that explains/describes why the applicant wishes to undertake this specific study, his/her research objectives and other relevant information (500-800 words maximum).
The successful candidate will be based at the VSMS Lab (www.vsmslab.com) and the research centre RISE (www.rise.org.cy). In parallel with his/her study the successful candidate may be employed in currently active research programs and/or be assigned teaching-related duties at the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts with appropriate reimbursement.
