Open positions

We are currently open for Master/PhD and Postdoc applications. The positions are mostly related to the Immersive Crowds and Crowd Dynamics projects.

Are you passionate about interactive graphics, immersive VR/AR experiences, and fascinated by the potential of technology to bring virtual worlds to life? Our lab is looking for creative, enthusiastic individuals eager to push the boundaries of crowd simulation, virtual reality, and interactive digital environments. We are generally looking for individuals with skillset in tools and platforms like Unreal Engine, Unity3D, VR/AR toolkits, 3D character modeling, motion capture, and other related technologies. If you have the background, we’d love to hear from you!

Postdoc positions

We are excited to welcome talented postdoctoral researchers who are ready to take their careers to the next level in the vibrant fields of crowd simulation, virtual reality, and emotionally-aware virtual environments. To express your interest, please send us an email with the subject line “Application for Postdoc”. Attach your CV and transcripts, and briefly describe the project you are excited to work on. We especially encourage postdocs with fellowships (also consider applying for opportunities such as the NSERC Postdoctoral Research Award or the prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship).
