Open Positions

Student Workers and Interns

IXLAB is seeking talented student assistants and interns. We currently have opening positions for:

3D artists

We are seeking 3D artists (generalists, world modellers, technical artists) to create worlds, creatures and characters for our XR projects. Especially desirable skills and experience include:

• Environment 3D modelling and texturing (e.g Maya, Blender...)
• Modelling from the real world (based on LiDAR and photogrammetry)
• Creating for real-time engines (e.g. Unreal or unity)
• Material-texture-shader creation for real-time rendering

Initial tasks include building photorealistic and stylised models of real world environments for virtual reality.

Software Engineers

Highly desirable skills and experience include:

• Game engine development (Unreal or Unity)
• C++ or C#
• VR or AR development
• Computer vision
• Tracking systems

Applicants must be currently enrolled as students in Germany (Studentische Hilfskräfte).
Hours per week are flexible (10 - 20), as is duration of contract.
Work can be conducted remotely, but visits to TU Dresden campus will be required, so physical proximity to Dresden is required.

Opening for PhD students or Postdocs

We are seeking talented researchers, scientists, engineers or artists to join us in the creation of experimental and creative immersive experiences and applications. The positions offer the opportunity to conduct innovative research in the field of immersive media. A variety of research topics are available, ranging from perceptual and cognitive studies, to the research and development of novel immersive technologies, applications or artistic creations. The positions offer the opportunity to publish and present at international conferences and to contribute to teaching and student supervision in the faculty of compute science.

We welcome applications from candidates from a variety of backgrounds:

• Computer scientists or software engineers with interests and expertise in virtual or augmented reality, real-time simulation, real-time 3D graphics or game engines, immersive audio or procedural and generative systems. 
• Perceptual or cognitive scientists working with VR/AR on topics related to multi-sensory perception, practical and perceptual phenomenology, embodiment and self-perception, phenomenal realness, predictive processing.
• Digital 3D artists with strong technical skills and expertise in procedural and generative modelling, character animation, simulation or modelling real-world locations.

Researchers applying immersive technologies to novel domains.
