Dear Colleagues,

We are looking for a Post Doc to join our labs, so I thought you may
be able to point us to one or
pass this along to high caliber graduate students who may be
graduating soon and would like to take
up this opportunity.

Thank you in advance,

Post Doctoral Fellowship Advertisement

Expressive Motion Research Project

We invite applications to the position of a Post Doctoral Fellow at
the School of Interactive Arts and Technology, Simon Fraser
University, under the supervision of Profs. Magy Seif El-Nasr and Lyn
Bartram. The Post Doctoral Fellow will be part of two labs within this
collaborative research: EMIIE Lab (http://emiie.iat.sfu.ca) and HVILab
(http://hvilab.iat.sfu.ca).

The successful candidate will play a major role in the Expressive
Motion Project. This project focuses on the development and
identification of the expressive dimension of motion. We use motion
here in an abstract sense, such as the motion of vegetation and wind
in visual simulations or games, or animated representations in
visualization systems. We are specifically interested in understanding
how to use such expressiveness parameters of motion to evoke specific
emotions or convey information. We intend to apply these motion
parameters on textures or particle systems in applications, such as
computer or video games, interactive 3D environments, interactive art
installations, and visualization systems. Both basic and applied
research is required.

Candidates should have a PhD degree (or be near completion) in a
relevant field and a strong research and publication record. We are
particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate good graphics
programming skills and have a PhD in a field related to computer
graphics and animation. Experience in setting up and conducting
empirical studies and statistical analysis is a plus.

The duration of the position is 12 months and may be extended an
additional 12 months.

Please send your full CV in PDF format to Dr. Magy Seif El-Nasr (magy
at sfu.ca) and Dr. Lyn Bartram (lyn at sfu.ca).

Thank you so much,
