Deadline: 28 February 2017

Chalmers University of Technology invites applications for a postdoc 
researcher in Computational Animation with a special focus on 
Physics-based Animation. The objective of this post-doctoral research 
project is to significantly advance the state-of-the-art of interactive 
physics-based animation to replicate the motion and the properties of 
soft objects like cloth, fabric, hair, skin, etc.
Specifically, this will involve the design of new data structures and 
parallel algorithms to obtain more accurate animations of deformable 
bodies in real-time, including collision handling.

The position also includes teaching on undergraduate and master's levels 
as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. 
Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with 
society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties 
within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

* Position summary:
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of 
two years (1+1).

* Qualifications
1) A PhD degree in a relevant field
2) A strong academic track record documented by CV and publications
3) A concrete and creative idea for one’s own research that fit within 
the areas of computational animation and physics-based simulation and 
adds some additional contributions.

Ideal candidates should be fluent in English and C++, well versed in 
mathematics (especially calculus and linear algebra) and have 
demonstrated interest in computer graphics and parallel programming.

Interested candidates can submit their application here:
