***********************************************************
The LIMSI (VENISE <http://www.limsi.fr/venise/> team) and LBT
<http://www-lbt.ibpc.fr> 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.
_*Research facilities:*__*
*_
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 (EVE system
<https://www.limsi.fr/en/research/venise/menuitem-venise-demos-en>).
_*About the host institute:*__*
*_
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.
_*Qualification and experience:*__*
*_
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.
*_Expectations summary:_*_
_
Skills : Virtual Reality, Human Computer Interaction, 3D User
Interaction, Molecular Visualisation
Background : Molecular Science, Structural Biology, Computational
Chemistry, Molecular Modelling and Simulation
Software development frameworks : Unity, 3D/UnityMol
Languages : C#, javascript or C++, Python,..
Hardware : Head Mounted Displays, 3D user interaction devices
Fluent in English
Closing date:: 1st October 2016
Interested candidates should send a CV and a statement of research
interests, including the names of three referees with contact
information, as a PDF document to baaden@ibpc.fr.
*_Executive summary:_**_
_*
*When?* 12 months starting ASAP
*Where? *Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique, Paris, France with frequent
trips from Paris to UCB Biopharma located near Brussels in Belgium, with
transportation accommodation costs fully supported by the contract.*
**
**Salary:* starting 2500 €/month for a basic level of experience; will
be adjusted based on the candidate’s CV (amount indicated is before tax)
