- Our goal: PURE3D 2.0 is an Open Science NL Infrastructure project (2026–2029). We are building a modular, interoperable, open-source platform (by extending the first phase of PURE3D ) for creating and publishing 3D research outputs that are richly annotated, FAIR-compliant, and peer-reviewed, serving academics, GLAM professionals, educators, and the public across Europe.
- Your colleagues: You will join a dynamic, international team led by Dr Costas Papadopoulos (Maastricht University) and including partners from the University of Amsterdam, TU Delft, Open University, the Netherlands eScience Center, and DANS, as well as collaboration partners such as the Smithsonian Institution, DARIAH-EU, Europeana, the Rijksmuseum, and the National Library of the Netherlands. Within UM’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS), you will work closely with two Senior RSEs (based at NL eScience Center), a Digital Content and Community Building Specialist, a research assistant, and the project’s PI and Project Manager.
- Co-design with user communities: Actively develop and participate in co-creation labs, hackathons, training and testing sessions with scholars, GLAM professionals, and educators, developing and translating user requirements into technical specifications and feeding findings back into the development cycle.
- Conduct applied research on technologies and platforms: Investigate, evaluate, and benchmark emerging 3D web technologies, annotation frameworks, simulation engines, and repository solutions, and produce evidence-based recommendations that steer architectural decisions.
- Feature Prototyping: Rapid prototyping of possible 3D viewer enhancements for users to give initial feedback before it enters the development process.
- 3D technical support: Assist project partners on 3D heritage workflows, including digitisation, geometric and material model optimisation and troubleshooting.
- 3D web standards and practices: Stay current with the rapidly evolving landscape of tools and frameworks such as 3DHOP, ATON, Kompakkt, HBIM, and cloud-based 3D pipelines as well as the use of LLMs both in the coding ecosystem and in 3D workflows.
- Contribute to the open-source ecosystem: Collaborate with the Smithsonian Institution on extending the Voyager toolkit, while collaborating with PURE3D developers to enhance the PURE3D infrastructure, including assisting with the design of plug-and-play components for 3D model ingestion, quality assurance, versioning, and archiving.
