*Postdoctoral position at CNRS on 3D interaction in virtual environment, 
knowledge, collaboration*

Subject: 3D interaction for intelligent collaboration in virtual 
environments

Dates: 24 months, starting before October 1, 2015

Location: UMR CNRS 7253 Heudiasyc, University of Technology Compiegne, 
Rue Roger Couttolenc

Centre PG1-GSM-I212 CS 60319, 60203 COMPIEGNE CEDEX , FRANCE

We are inviting applications for one postdoctoral position on 3D 
interaction for intelligent collaboration in virtual environments at 
CNRS (https://www.hds.utc.fr/). The position is for two years, starting 
before October 2015. The successful candidate will join the Heudiasyc 
research team

(https://www.hds.utc.fr/) <https://www.hds.utc.fr/%29>.) at the CNRS 
premises within the Campus of the UTC 
(http://www.utc.fr/the_university/index.php), in Compiegne, France. The 
research activity will be carried out under the supervision of Indira 
Thouvenin (http://www.hds.utc.fr/~ithouven 
<http://www.hds.utc.fr/%7Eithouven>).

The candidate will conduct research on 3D interaction in virtual 
environments, where the user intentions are essential to build a 
collaborative experience, particularly in the case of distant 
collaboration. The focus will be on adapted multimodal feedbacks for 
guiding the participants in virtual environments.

We have designed and developed several adaptive guiding models in 
virtual environments, based on cognitive and embodied activity modelling 
of the real user. A lot of possibilities exist with data collection of 
the user state, gesture, context or errors while interacting in a 
virtual environment. These data are captured and interpreted in real 
time to provide sensorial feedbacks.

The final module will be evaluated on scenario in order to measure the 
influence of collaboration, metaphors, communication protocols and data 
exchanges efficiency. An analysis off line and on line will be realized.

*Requirements for this position include:*

-a PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related areas

-a strong background in virtual reality and a strong interest in 
knowledge representation; Candidates with a curricula oriented to 
machine learning and an interest in cognitive science will be also 
considered

-strong algorithm design and software implementation skills

-a good publication record in related conferences and journals

-fluency in written and spoken English, spoken French will be considered

Applications are to be sent to both indira.thouvenin@utc.fr 
<mailto:indira.thouvenin@utc.fr> and service.rh-recrutement@utc.fr 
<mailto:service.rh-recrutement@utc.fr>:

·one unique file or a file archive with a short cover letter indicating 
the candidate's research interests, achievements to date and vision for 
the future, a CV including a complete list of publications, the contact 
details of two/three referees

·objet: [recrutement post doc interaction 3D collaborative]

The deadline for applying is on June 30, 2105.
