Join Inria's cutting-edge research team for a post-doctoral visit exploring high-order 3D modeling with smooth unstructured volumetric representations, advancing techniques in computer graphics and geometric processing. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to innovative solutions in computational geometry while collaborating with leading experts in the field.

Inria, the French National Research Institute for Digital Sciences, invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Visit focusing on high-order 3D modeling using smooth unstructured volumetric representations. This position is ideal for recent PhD graduates passionate about advancing computational geometry and its applications in simulation, visualization, and manufacturing.

The research will explore novel methods for representing and manipulating 3D objects with high-order smooth splines on unstructured volumetric meshes. Key objectives include developing efficient algorithms for isogeometric analysis, adaptive refinement, and boundary representation that outperform traditional piecewise linear approaches. You will work within the Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée research center, contributing to interdisciplinary projects that bridge mathematics, computer science, and engineering.

Responsibilities include conducting original research, implementing prototypes, analyzing results, and disseminating findings through papers and presentations. This 12-24 month visit offers a dynamic environment to push the boundaries of 3D modeling, with potential impacts on fields like biomedical imaging, virtual reality, and finite element simulations.

Inria values diversity and encourages applications from underrepresented groups. The role requires the REMOTE_CERTIFIED project type, ensuring secure and compliant remote collaboration tools.
