Rennes, Bretagne, France INRIA Temps plein

About INRIA and This Opportunity

INRIA is a leading French research institute dedicated to advancing computer science and its applications. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team at the forefront of human-computer interaction research within the exciting field of Extended Reality (XR).

Project Context: META-TOO

This PhD position is embedded within the European project META-TOO, which focuses on understanding and mitigating gender-based inappropriate social interactions in the Metaverse. META-TOO brings together three distinguished institutions – the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria), Kapodistrian University of Athens, and Fundació de Recerca Clínic Barcelona – to tackle this critical issue.

Research Focus: Creating Safe and Inclusive XR Experiences

The research will explore two key areas:

  • Impact of Avatar and Environment Characteristics: Investigating how avatar attributes (appearance, movement, gender, ethnicity) and virtual environment design influence perceptions of inappropriate behavior in VR/AR.
  • Interaction Techniques for Addressing Inappropriate Behavior: Developing and evaluating innovative methods to empower users to respond effectively to inappropriate behavior within XR environments. This could involve techniques like dynamic avatar adjustments, contextual cues, or reporting mechanisms.

Your Role as a Researcher

As a PhD candidate, you will contribute to the research design, data collection, analysis, and dissemination of findings. You will work closely with experienced researchers and have the opportunity to present your work at international conferences and publish in top academic journals.

Qualifications and Skills

We are seeking a candidate with:

  • A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Human-Computer Interaction, Mixed Reality, or a related field.
  • Experience with 3D/VR/AR development environments (e.g., Unity3D).
  • Familiarity with user evaluation methods and experimental design.
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as C# or C++.
  • Excellent written and spoken English communication skills.

Benefits of Joining INRIA

INRIA offers a stimulating research environment, competitive salary, and comprehensive benefits package. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaborate with leading experts in the field.
