*Postdoctoral position at CNRS HEUDIASYC 1 year*

*Subject: Evaluation of an Adaptive Training Virtual Environment *

Dates: 12 months, starting before December 6, 2017

Location: UMR CNRS 7253 Heudiasyc Sorbonne Universités, Université de 
technologie de Compiègne Génie Informatique - 57 avenue de Landshut 
60203 Compiègne (France) Phone +33 (3) 44 23 45 47 (45mn from Paris by 
train )

We are inviting applications for one postdoctoral position on the 
Evaluation of an Adaptive Training Virtual Environment at CNRS 
(https://www.hds.utc.fr/). The position is for one year, starting before 
6th December 2017. The successful candidate will join the *Heudiasyc 
research team* (https://www.hds.utc.fr/).) 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 post doc is funded by the 
Region Hauts de France.

*Description of the mission*

*Context*

Feedback selection is a major issue for intelligent virtual environments 
for training. Expert knowledge provides useful insight, but it can be 
difficult to collect. Furthermore, the influence of a specific type of 
feedback may vary across trainees and over training, which is rarely 
reflected in expert knowledge. As part of an automatic gesture training 
system, we modelled the co-evolution between a trainee and a training 
environment. We consider trainees by their levels in every dimensions of 
the task, and the training environment as the relevance of every element 
in its set of feedback. Over time, this co-evolution is reflected by 
trainee successive performances, and changes in the feedback selection. 
We have been working on technical gesture training both for industrial 
or fundamental purposes (KIVA and DESCRIPT projects ).

*Objective *

The goal of this post-doc is to evaluate the impact of adaptation in 
training virtual environments. We believe that co-evolution based on the 
enaction theory has a positive impact on training. The candidate will 
design an experiment in order to validate the model. Two platforms are 
available to conduct this experiment: a 2D platform (PhD Remy Frenoy) 
and a 3D platform (extension of the model in a CAVE, PhD Florian 
Jeanne). One major issue is the role of feedback for controlling the 
interaction. A second issue is the impact of giving an importance to 
errors in training, in order to propose a flexible, personalized and 
easy of use interaction.

*Requirements for this position include:*

- a PhD in psychology, cognitive sciences, neurosciences or human 
factors for CHI - a strong background as an experiment-planner, 
organizer and performer - strong knowledge and experience for 
performance evaluation and data analysis - a good publication record in 
related conferences and journals - fluency in written and spoken 
English, spoken French will be considered - good relational and oratory 
skills

*Applications are to be sent to both indira.thouvenin@utc.fr and 
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 in VR]

*The deadline for applying is on 1st october, 2107.*
