PhD Program Visual Communication and Expertise (VisComX) PhD Program Visual Communication and Expertise (VisComX) At the beginning of the 21st century, visual communication and expertise is of key importance in all areas of life on a global scale. Digital technology has transformed traditional publication patterns; digital photography coupled with ubiquitous telecommunication networks has the potential to turn every bystander of an event into a “news photographer”, thereby creating a new kind of mobile multimedia lay journalism. Visuals elicit both cognitive and emotional reactions, oftentimes influencing decision-making and communication patterns. Contemporary artists embrace new media, integrating video, digital art, hard- and software, transforming technology into artwork that in turn influences the aesthetics of entertainment, advertising, and user interfaces.
Software applications increasingly rely on visualization. The PhD program is an integral part of the VisComX Research Centre (www.jacobs-university.de/viscomx). Integrated Social Sciences (PhD) Program at a Glance | School of Humanities & Social Sciences. Societies in Change: Reshaping Cultures, Publics, and Institutions. The PhD-Program in Integrated Social Sciences is a Research-Only-PhD Program. While favouring an interdisciplinary orientation, the program is open to research projects with a primary focus on one of the following disciplines: sociology, political science, mass communication, economics.
Ideally the research projects combine two or more of the above mentioned disciplinary perspectives. Research projects that fall into the domains of sociology, political science and economics centre on significant social, political, and economic transformations in contemporary societies. Research projects in the domain of international communication focus on current developments and changes, both in terms of media institutions and media content. Comparative projects are welcome as much as empirical case-studies and media-specific analyses in a globalized communication context. The program includes three years of PhD-study.

The transdisciplinary graduate program "Cognitive Systems and Processes", short COSYP, is linked to the Research Center with the same name at Jacobs University. It has the main aim to study the generic processes in cognition as basis for artificial systems.
This aim is linked to two core scientific endeavors, namely the transdisciplinary understanding of cognition – as one of the most fundamental basic research questions – which can only be tackled in a collaborative effort of researchers working in different disciplines and the quest for building artificial intelligent systems – to constructively understand principles of natural systems – and to enable novel applications, namely machines operating on complex missions in challenging environments without permanent human supervision The COSYP graduate program is strongly transdisciplinary and it offers a researchoriented education by faculty from. Cognitive Interaction Technology - Center of Excellence | CITEC. Fakultät IV Elektrotechnik und Informatik: Sensory Computation in Neural Systems. The Research Training Group "Sensory Computation in Neural Systems" combines techniques and concepts from computational neuroscience, systems neurobiology, and machine learning, in order to specifically address sensory computation.
Experimentalists and theoreticians join forces and educate young scientists: (1) to work on interdisciplinary projects investigating brain computation, (2) to exploit recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence for modeling brain function, and (3) to develop new theories of computation hand in hand with well-controlled experiments in order to put functional hypotheses to test. Our long-term scientific vision is to build a theoretical framework for addressing brain computation which is as powerful and as accepted in the neurobiology community as compartmental models are for understanding signal processing in neurons.
The scientific program is focused on sensory coding and perception.
