<pre>Please feel free to circulate this posting to anyone that may be interested:
The MxR Lab at the University of Southern California Institute for
Creative Technologies is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project
in user state sensing. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in computer
science or a related field and a research background in computer vision,
machine learning, 3D user interfaces, virtual environments, virtual
humans, or a similar area.
This position is funded by a project that involves assessing the user's
psychological state through verbal and nonverbal behavior during
interactions with virtual humans, based primarily on data collected
through video and depth cameras. Specific responsibilities will include:
- Designing and prototyping sensing methodologies to inform model's of
the user's psychological state
- Developing software libraries that facilitate user state sensing
- Collaborating with other divisions of the ICT to contribute to an
integrated sensing framework
- Conducting user studies, analyzing data, and publishing results
The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is located
in the heart of downtown L.A. and is the largest private employer in the
City of Los Angeles. As an employee of USC, you will be a part of a
world-class research university and a member of the "Trojan Family,"
which is comprised of the faculty, students and staff that make the
university what it is.
Initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of renewal
for subsequent years. Please direct all inquiries to Evan Suma
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:suma@ict.usc.edu">suma@ict.usc.edu</a>).
