do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in other topics.
Postdoctoral and Research Engineer positions
- Navigation (eg Google Maps) as an information-theoretic inference process. Redesign google maps: Develop general computational principles for guiding interaction based on information gain, rather than focusing on specific interface design choices. Contact: Julien Gori
- Computational models of collaboration with and without artificial agents, and how they could be exploited to design interventions in interactive systems. Contact: Julien Gori, Gilles Bailly

Why apply at HCI Sorbonne?
The development and the success of our students (from Bachelor to PhD) is a high priority in our group. We provide regular and personal guidance to ensure that students learn to lead successful research projects.
Our group has a strong track record at the CHI conference and is part of the exciting and multi-disciplinary ISIR laboratory (robotics, machine learning, perception, cognitive science, haptics, social interaction, etc.). The ISIR lab is a part of Sorbonne University, formerly Pierre et Marie Curie University, merged in 2018 with the University Paris-Sorbonne to form three autonomous faculties: Humanities and Social Sciences, Sciences and Medicine.
Key Figures
58 800 students (10 000 are international students), 5 200 doctoral candidates, 7 700 professor-researchers in 200 laboratories.
