The Simulation and Interaction in Virtual Environments (SIVE)
Lab at<br>
the University of Minnesota Duluth is seeking a postdoctoral<br>
researcher to join our team of computer scientists, boundary
layer<br>
meteorologists, atmospheric scientists, engineers, and urban
planners<br>
on the GEnUSiS Project. GEnUSiS stands for Green Environmental
Urban<br>
Simulations for Sustainability. The project focuses on
understanding<br>
the complex relationships between urban form, including green<br>
infrastructure, and the environment. In particular, we are
developing<br>
simulation, visualization, and interactive tools aimed at
generating
<div>knowledge for how to minimize energy, mitigate pollution,
and improve </div>
<div>the urban microclimate. The project is a
multi-disciplinary, collaborative<br>
project between researchers at the University of Utah's
Mechanical<br>
Engineering Department and the University of Minnesota
Duluth's<br>
Computer Science Department. The project is funded by the
National<br>
Science Foundation.</div>
<div><br>
Ideal candidates will have experience that demonstrates
high-quality<br>
independent research and potential for teaching. Candidates
with<br>
demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas
are of<br>
particular interest to the GEnUSiS group:<br>
<br>
- scientific computing with focus on atmospheric sciences or
boundary<br>
layer meteorology</div>
<div>
- simulation and interaction in virtual environments<br>
- GPU programming<br>
- scientific visualization with focus on real-time, immersive<br>
visualization<br>
<br>
To be qualified for the position, the candidate must have a<br>
Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
Candidates<br>
should also be highly capable with the following skills:<br>
– Solid experience programming with C++<br>
– Experience with GPU programming, using CUDA and/or OpenCL<br>
- Interest or experience in real-time interaction and
simulation in<br>
virtual environments<br>
<br>
The postdoctoral position is funded by the 3M William L.
McKnight<br>
Foundation and includes a professional training component that<br>
requires the postdoctoral researcher teach one class during
the<br>
appointment.<br>
<br>
Initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility
of<br>
renewal for subsequent years.<br>
<br>
Applicants can apply online at:<br>
