VRML (including interactive objects)
Server configuration / API programming

Requirements: University degree (in any field)
Some proof that you'd LOVE to work with virtual environments

I will go to VRML '99 in Paderborn (Feb 23-27). In case
you attend, we could meet there !
Important Notes:
- We plan to work with the Blaxxun server (if budget permits). However
you are also expected to look into other technology (e.g. VNET,
Deep Matrix, Bang, Java3D and others).
- If you DON'T have all the skills listed above you should still APPLY.
We are aware that we ask for a lot and that we may not find the
ideal candidate for such a low budget position.
- Switzerland is VERY restrictive on working permits. RA positions are
affiliated with student permits. In other words, this position is
suitable for a SINGLE person. Getting a permit for a partner is
a total headache and the salary is not enough to support a whole
family.
- The ideal candidate is somebody with a fresh diploma who
wants to spend some time else-place and work on multi-user virtual
worlds in a dynamic internal team working on educational technology.
You are expected to like team-work and at the same time you should be
able to work autonomously.
