moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www-lbt.ibpc.fr">LBT</a>
CNRS research units located near Paris, are seeking a highly
motivated candidate to design and implement a next generation
immersive visualization platform. The successful candidate will
develop, evaluate and integrate innovative features from Virtual
Reality and 3D user interaction into a drug discovery workflow.
With a user-centered and iterative approach, each feature will
be evaluated both in Paris and in Belgium, taking into account
the experience and the feedback from UCB Biopharma
collaborators. Project foundations were previously established
(see e.g. UnityMol), providing a defined framework to get
started. Using virtual reality headsets, you will implement
readily usable next generation immersive design tools.<br>
<br>
<u><b>Research facilities:</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><br>
This project is funded by UCB a patient-centric biopharma leader
located near Brussels, Belgium in collaboration with the LIMSI
and LBT CNRS research units located near Paris. These labs
conduct research on Virtual Reality, Computational Biology &
Chemistry. They participate in Equipex and Labex excellence in
science programs. As part of the CACSICE Equipex (via LBT) and
DIGISCOP Equipex (via VENISE team of LIMSI), the candidate will
have access to a large high-resolution display wall and a
state-of-art VR CAVE with 2-user adaptive stereoscopy, large
haptic device which allows force feedback within the full
working area, and 3D audio and acoustic facilities for immersion

<u><b>About the host institute:</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><br>
The « Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique » was created in
1930 by the Foundation Edmond de Rothschild. It is associated
with the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), a
leading international scientific institution offering an
exceptional environment to scientists early in their career,
with a dynamic international exposure animated by regular
seminars and meetings.<br>
<br>
<u><b>Qualification and experience:</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><br>
A PhD or engineering degree in relevant fields (Computer
Science, Structural Biology, Computational Chemistry,..) and at
least one publication in a peer reviewed journal or at a leading
conference are required. The successful applicant should have
excellent developer skills and a strong background in software
development (graphics, shader programming, real time
applications) with significant experience either in 3D
visualization and interaction, or in Virtual Reality. Experience
in modelling, animation or game design software (Unity, Blender,
Unreal), and a background in structural biology or
structure-based drug design would be appreciated. The candidate
should also be familiar with at least one modern programming
language. Evidence of the ability to undertake advanced software
development is essential, as are good communication and
organisational skills.<br>
