Introduction

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) have made incredible progress over the last few years. We are not far away from a future, in which a user’s view could be continuously modified by their smart glasses. Besides some obvious ethical concerns about such a future, there are also immense opportunities for using this capability to make our lives better. The high-level context of this position is to help us develop fundamental technologies and study their applications and effects on humans.

A special benefit of this position is that is intended to support outstanding young researchers to prepare an application for a lifetime position at CNRS. These positions are unique, as they provide the probably fastest tracks for talented young researchers to get a tenured position (more than 5 years faster than a comparable track in e.g. the USA). CNRS positions also come with a status as French civil servant, which includes significant benefits (e.g. sabbaticals with a duration of up to 8 years, true lifetime employment, an attractive pension, etc.).

The ideal candidate has 2-3 years of postdoc experience.
