Post-doc position in Marseilles, France

Post-Doctoral position, University of the Mediterranean, Marseilles, France

The Institute of Movement Sciences (ISM), Mediterranean Virtual Reality Center (CRVM), invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral position. The position is open under a research program focusing on the development of an interactive simulator for the training of neonatal resuscitation. This project involves four partners of the university: The Neonatal Care Unit (Faculty of Medicine), the School of Advanced Studies in Engineering (LSIS), the Applied Biomechanics Laboratory (LBA) and ISM.

We are looking for qualified applicants with a motivation for interdisciplinary research and skills in 3D computer graphics and virtual reality. An experience in biomedical imagery and/or biomechanics would be a plus, since the primary task will be to develop a biologically plausible model of the newborn head.

Applicants should e-mail a cover letter, CV, university certificates and contact information of two references to Dr Daniel Mestre (daniel.mestre@univmed.fr). Restrictions: Candidates must be under 35, either from outside of France or having conducted post-doctoral studies (minimum 2 years) outside of France.
