Aviz Jobs

Aviz is ready to welcome you aboard!

Inria in a few words

Inria is a public science and technology institution established in 1967, and the only public research body fully dedicated to computational sciences in France. Combining computer sciences with mathematics, Inria’s 3,400 researchers strive to invent the digital technologies of the future with 8 research Centres based in: Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lille, Nancy, Paris, Rennes, Saclay and Sophia-Antipolis.

General Requirements

Non-French people are encouraged to apply whether they speak French or not. A good level of English is required, especially written English. In general, we look for people who are curious, creative and have good analytical and programming skills.

PhD Students

Call for PhD applications

• We have 3 PhD positions open for 2025 as part of the international ANR/FDG project tVISt. One position for our team, one in team ILDA (located on the same floor as us), and one at the Technical University of Dresden in Germany. Please see the project page for details. We will also hire multiple Master students on the project.
• We have 2 PhD positions open for 2025 as part of the ANR funded project SportsViz. One position in our team, one at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, and an engineer position at Inria Grenoble. We will also hire multiple Master students on the project.

PhD scholarships

You can also apply as a PhD student under the supervision or co-supervision of any of the research scientists at Aviz (list here). The topic of your PhD should be discussed with the researcher you are interested in working with. With your future advisor you can then apply for funding from several sources, such as:

• INRIA (bourses CORDI). Application is between February and May every year.
• University grants. Application deadline is in the spring every year.

Both are highly competitive. The Inria grants are primarily meant for international students. For more information, contact Jean-Daniel Fekete or Tobias Isenberg. Definitely contact your potential (co-)supervisor before you attempt any application.

It is recommended (but not necessary nor sufficient) to do a Master internship at Aviz before applying.

Graduate Level Internships / Master theses

Aviz often has funding for a few internships. In France it is often students in the second year of their Master who apply for an internship to conduct Master thesis research from around February/March to July/August. We also often welcome international PhD students for internships. When they come with their own funding there is usually no problem to host students. When funding is required these internships need to be arranged well ahead of time.

List of possible internship topics for 2024/2025:

• Situated Visualizations for Sports Videos supervised by Petra Isenberg and Romain Vuillemot (2 positions).
• Data Visualization on Non-Planar Displays supervised by Petra Isenberg/Raimund Dachselt or Anastasia Bezerianos/Tobias Isenberg (2 positions).
