<div dir="ltr">The Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL) at UIC has
multiple open graduate student positions in visualization
projects (infovis, scivis, biovis, HCI, VR), to be filled by
Fall 2015. EVL conducts interdisciplinary research in computer
graphics and visualization---distributed visualization,
visualization instrumentation, biovis, scivis, infovis, HCI, VR
and management of next-generation networked visualization
initiatives---to create globally-connected visualization display
hardware and software that enable collaboration among teams of
scientists, engineers, industrial designers, and artists.
Globally noted for its invention of the CAVEâ„¢ virtual reality
theater (1991), EVL represents the oldest formal collaboration
between engineering and art in the US. EVL facilities include a
CAVE2, interactive tables, sensing spider-suits, and wall-sized
displays that support local and distance collaboration.<br>
<br>
EVL is part of the Computer Science Department at UIC. The
combined expertise of the twenty-seven CS faculty members is
extraordinary. Ten of the faculty have received prestigious
National Science Foundation CAREER awards, and four of the
faculty are recipients of UIC’s top teaching excellence award.
The educational opportunities are outstanding, from Virtual
Reality and Visualization courses to a unique Field Course in
Computational Population Biology, taught partly on site in a
Kenyan reservation. The department is a leading research unit,
with annual research funding exceeding $9 million.<br>
<br>
The Chicago campus of the University of Illinois (UIC) ranks
third among U.S. universities in an international ranking of the
top 100 young universities in the world. The largest campus in
the Chicago area, UIC has nearly 30,000 students (40% are
graduate students), 15 colleges---including the nation's largest
medical school---and annual research expenditures exceeding $335
million. A truly global institution, more than a third of UIC
students speak English as a second language; UIC's student body
is recognized as one of the most diverse in the US.<br>
<br>
Chicago is a beautiful, gorgeous US city like no other: there
are 80+ different architectural tours, beaches and yachts, city
life (second only to NYC in the US), amazing public
transportation, both quiet and hipster neighborhoods, a huge
number of connecting flights, wonderful diversity and culture.<br>
