Postdoctoral or Research Faculty Position in Virtual Reality
We are looking for an exceptionally able PhD (or equivalent experience)
computer scientist to join our group in the development and application
of virtual reality to education in the sciences. Our group has a
history going back 30 years of computer animated film production and
the use of virtual reality. We are building the "Virtual Explorer", a
virtual reality adventure environment, a space and time vehicle to
explore and manipulate the alien worlds of the quantum mechanics of
chemical reactions, the molecular biology of human cells, the
cosmological evolution of the universe. On our high end multiprocessor
Silicon Graphics system, we are developing "blow them away"
demonstrations using multiscreen stereo, spatialized sound, and haptic
interfaces, but will also port to coming "commodity" level 3D graphics
platforms for wider usage. We have excellent long term funding. The
position could be Post-doctoral or Research Faculty level, depending
upon ability and experience. Salary commensurate with ability and
experience. For more information and a description of current group
activities and personnel see our World Wide Web site,
