Phd in Cloud Computing for Datadriven Applications at University of Strasbourg, France
The Scientific and Parallel Computing and Imaging (ICPS) group is seeking very good candidates for the following subject. Applicants shall have a Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or in a related discipline. As for all PhD studies, a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter and excellent analytical and communication skills, orally as well as literally, are needed. Further, since the research work normally involves developing and testing analytical techniques, good programming skills are important. A successful candidate should have a profound interest in parallel and distributed systems.

A three-year post-doctoral position within computational/artificial intelligence and games (particularly user modelling and procedural content generation) is available at the Center for Computer Games Research at the IT University of Copenhagen.

The SIREN project aims to create a new type of educational game, the conflict resolution game, which takes advantage of recent advances in serious games, social networks, computational intelligence and emotional modelling to create uniquely motivating and educating games that help shape how children think about and handle conflicts.
