 A 3-year funded Ph.D position is available at CNRS / Université Paris-Saclay in Orsay, Ile-de-France, France starting at the beginning of 2022. This Ph.D. project is situated in an emerging research area that lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Virtual and Augmented Reality, Computer-Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW), and Archaeology and Cultural Heritage research.

The successful candidate will be involved in the design, modelling and development of a collaborative virtual and augmented reality system for data mining and analysis in archaeology and cultural heritage. The Ph.D. project will focus on the rendering of massive data via immersive interfaces, the development of a collaborative environment for multiple users and the evaluation of such platforms on archaeological and cultural heritage scenarios.

The candidate may have various qualifications of Master 2 or equivalent in the field of Computer Science. The following areas of expertise are in favour, but particular attention will be paid to technical skills and experience in the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of immersive technologies. The ideal candidate must be able to thrive in a fast-paced environment where new technologies and approaches can change rapidly. Skills required include: C#/C++ programming especially in the field of virtual reality and/or augmented reality; experience in developing applications with 3D engines such as Unity3D and/or Unreal Engine.
