## About Télécom Paris and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris

[Télécom Paris] is a founding school of the [Institut Polytechnique de 
Paris].  It is a top-ranked French higher education and research 
institution in the fields of computer science, engineering and digital 
technology.  As part of the «grande école» public higher education 
system in France, it is a competitive variant to universities with 
student admission rates of around 5–10%.

Télécom Paris was founded in 1878 and invented the term 
“telecommunication.”  Since 2019, the school joined four other 
grandes écoles (École Polytechnique, ENSAE, ENSTA, and Télécom 
SudParis) to create the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, a top-50 ranked 
institution for Computer Science & Information systems worldwide.


## About the Research Group

Research activities will be conducted in the [DIVA (Design, Interaction, 
Visualisation & Applications)][DIVA] group of the Computer Science & 
Networking department. The group research activities focus on novel 
interaction techniques (particularly with respect to large and 
small-scale devices), information visualisation, VR/AR/XR, digital 
fabrication & design, and new technologies for teaching.

While the successful candidate should bring strong expertise in 
technical aspects of **HCI research**, they will be joining a 
multi-disciplinary team with a record of collaboration across 
socio-technical disciplines.  They are expected to develop and reinforce 
the team’s leadership in these areas and to contribute to the team’s 
multidisciplinary focus.  Candidates should have a track record of 
high-quality publications in HCI and/or related fields.

The candidate will also work in collaboration with faculty in the

[LTCI] and [CNRS I3] research laboratories of Télécom Paris and the 
broader Institut Polytechnique de Paris community.
