<pre>The computer science department of Sorbonne Universites UPMC (Paris, France)
invites applications for one post-doctoral researcher in the field of scientific
visualization, to conduct research in the area of large ensemble (or
uncertain) data analysis and visualization with topological and/or numerical
methods.
PROFILE
===
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow! Curiosity, open-mind,
creativity, persistence, professionalism, responsibility, and collaborative-
work ability are the key personal skills we target. A Ph.D. in computer
science (or applied mathematics) is required, with demonstrated experience and
a quality publication record on one or several of the following topics:
- scientific visualization,
- image processing,
- geometry processing,
- computational topology/geometry,
- computer graphics,
- shape analysis,
- uncertainty models in imaging.
The successful candidate should have advanced programming skills (C++
preferred) with experience with visualization/computer graphics APIs (OpenGL,
VTK, etc.). A good background in mathematics is required (with optional
knowledge in computational topology and optimal transportation). Fluency in
French is absolutely _NOT_ required, however fluency in English is mandatory.
Both beginning and more senior postdoctoral candidates are encouraged to
apply.
ENVIRONMENT
===
The successful candidate will work in direct collaboration with researchers
having an established expertise in visualization, topological analysis, image
processing, applied mathematics, scientific computing and uncertainty models
(see the links to the investigators' webpages below). In the context of this
research project, the candidate will also have the opportunity to interact
with several external collaborators and data-set providers, including
industrial and academic institutions in France and worldwide that are highly
involved in scientific visualization. The candidate will be part of the
Scientific Computing Division of the Computer Science Department (LIP6) of
Sorbonne Universites UPMC. The LIP6 lab is a unique environment where
innovative, multidisciplinary, and foundational research is conducted on
topics ranging from communication systems and networking, to scientific
computing and visualization. Sorbonne Universites UPMC (aka Universite Pierre
et Marie Curie, Universite Paris 6, Jussieu) is the scientific campus of
Sorbonne Universites, one of the most prestigious academic institutions in
France. The candidate will be given the opportunity to develop his/her
research skills and to contribute to the development of the visualization axis
within the lab, with possible teaching opportunities as well as student
mentoring.
LOCATION
===
Sorbonne Universites UPMC is one of the few campuses that still benefit from a
downtown location within the beautiful city of Paris (5th district, across the
river from Notre Dame). Subway stations are located within walking distance.
Student housing facilities (with furnished studios and apartments) are located
nearby.
APPLICATIONS
===
Applicants are invited to submit a cover letter, their curriculum vitae
(including their full publication record), as well as reference letters by
email to Julien Tierny (julien dot tierny at lip6 dot fr) and Julie Delon
(julie dot delon at parisdescartes dot fr).
The deadline for the application submission is set to June, 30th 2016 but a
preferred start date would be April 2016.
CONTACT
===
Candidates are encouraged to contact Julien Tierny (julien dot tierny at lip6
dot fr) and Julie Delon (julie dot delon at parisdescartes dot fr) for further
discussions or any practical question.
