Dear colleagues, <br>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The ViRVIG Research Center (<font
color="#000000"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://virvig.eu/" moz-do-not-send="true">http://virvig.eu/</a>)
at UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) is looking for a
new PhD student in Computer Graphics.<br>
</font> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">** Project ** <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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). <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The candidate will contribute to the
modeling, visualization, simulation or interaction problems in
the context of the project. The specific topic for the <span
style="font-size:17.6px">successful candidate </span>will be
decided according to his/her prior experience. <br>
</p>
<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>
<br>
<br>
** How to apply **<br>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> To apply please prepare and submit the
following information (deadline October 19):<br>
<br>
1. Curriculum Vitae, including a list of your publications (if
any)</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2. Academic record <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">3. A cover letter stating your research
interests and how they relate to the project</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">4. [Optional] Recommendation letter(s)<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">to Carlos Andujar (<font color="#000000"><a

Please quote "PhD position" in the subject.</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Selected candidates will be asked (and
assisted) to fill the formal application at the Spanish Ministry
web page. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Would you be so kind to distribute this
offer among potential candidates?<br>
