We are searching for a postdoctoral fellow for the EU IST FET Open project
CROSSMOD. The goal of CROSSMOD is to study audio-visual cross-modal
perceptual effects and to find ways to apply them to virtual environments.
The partners of the project include research groups working in Computer
Graphics and Computer Sound, psychoacoustics and neurosciences.
The REVES/INRIA research group is coordinating this project.
The project started in December 2005. The first phase of the project,
which is currently under way, involves experimental work to determine
cross-modal effects which are appropriate and promising in the context
of selective rendering approaches and attention guidance techniques for
virtual environments.

The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in computer science, or
a multi-disciplinary Ph.D. in an engineering discipline and/or
experimental psychology, and must have worked in Computer Graphics
and/or Sound, and Virtual Reality research.

The position is available immediately and is for 12 months renewable.
Depending on the qualifications of the fellow, the research work may
be more focused on the experimental side or on the
algorithmic/rendering part of the project.
Please send a detailed CV and pointers to selected publications to
George.Drettakis@sophia.inria.fr

Our lab is situated in the French riviera in the South of France, next
