<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear colleagues, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">The ViRVIG Research
Center (</span><a href="http://virvig.eu/"
moz-do-not-send="true"><span lang="EN-GB">http://virvig.eu/</span></a><span
lang="EN-GB">) at UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya)
is looking for a new PhD student in Computer Graphics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">The research is
embedded in the 3D4LIFE project, "Visualization, modeling,
simulation and interaction with 3D models. Applications in
life sciences and urban environments", funded by Spanish
Ministry and FEDER funds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">** Project ** <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">The 3D4LIFE project
focuses on large models stemming mainly from two fields:
life sciences and urban modeling. In life sciences we
address three distinct sources of information: medical
imaging devices (diagnosis and training), molecular
simulations in pharmacology, and biomechanical data.
Concerning urban modeling, we focus on the generation of
plausible models (geometric models, simulation of crowd
behaviors) from multiple data sources. Despite the
transversal nature of the project, the specific objectives
are conceived to facilitate the development of 3D
applications meant to improve the quality of life of the
people, both in their health (clinical diagnosis,
simulations in sports biomechanics, design of new drugs) and
in their immediate surroundings (crowd behavior simulation,
sustainable urban design, cultural heritage). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">The candidate will
contribute to the modeling, visualization, simulation or
interaction problems in the context of the project. The
specific topic for the </span><span
style="font-size:13.0pt" lang="EN-GB">successful candidate </span><span
lang="EN-GB">will be decided according to his/her prior
experience. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><br>
** Profile **<br>
<br>
Candidates should have a background in Computer Science or
related fields (MSc level), with a strong interest in
Computer Graphics. Candidates should have demonstrable
experience in 3D programming and excellent knowledge of both
written and spoken English. <br>
<br>
** Offer **<br>
<br>
The position will be available after the publication of the
resolution granting the aid, which is expected by *April-May
2019*. <br>
The candidate will join the ViRVIG research group at
UPC-Barcelona, which offers a great opportunity for
high-quality Computer <br>
Graphics research. The position is funded for up to four
years. <br>
