Dear colleagues, <br>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The ViRVIG Research Center (<font
color="#000000"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://virvig.eu/">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>
