The positions have a great deal of flexibility for candidates to pursue research in areas of their interest. Candidates will also have the opportunity to define technology acquisitions at EAC in order to support research activities. There could be a possibility of transferring
to a tenure-track faculty position at the completion of the postdoctoral work.
Candidates will work under the direction of Dr. Carolina Cruz-Neira and Dr. Dirk Reiners in a variety of applied research projects in virtual reality, augmented reality, visual analytics, modeling and simulation, and training. One of the primary expectations for candidates is their ability to generate publishable papers from the research projects under their responsibility.
