A post-doc post is available at the Institut des Systθmes Intelligents
et Robotique (ISIR), see http://www.isir.fr <http://www.isir.fr/>, of
the Universitι Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6. The project in the area
of micro/nano robotics. It involves the use of haptic feedback and
virtual reality techniques for micro and nano manipulation in a project
is funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR). The aim is to
investigate how micro and nano scales physics can be made accessible to
the human scale. There are three sub-projects on which the prospective
post-doc may work on according to her/his interests and qualifications.

- Perception of micro/nano scale phenomena through virtual and
augmented reality;
- Design of a novel high fidelity haptic interface specific to
micro/nano scales, including mechanics and control;
- Bilateral control schemes for force feedback teleoperation
through a VR/AR environment.

The candidate should have a Ph.D. in electrical or mechanical
engineering, automatic control, applied physics, experimental
psychology, human factors, or other relevant topics. Some experience
with virtual reality systems would be a plus.
The position is available immediately. It is for one year and is
renewable for a second.

Interested candidates should send a CV, selected publications and the
names and addresses of three references
