and funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project
aims to study the space of visualizations itself and how it
can be efficiently and effectively navigated. The goal is to
develop interactive visual methods to enable users in
choosing appropriate visualization techniques for particular
types of data and tasks. The topic for the thesis can be
chosen within this broad range to suit the strengths and
interests of the PhD candidate.</div>

human-computer interaction</div>
<div>- have excellent programming skills (very good GPU
programming skills, in particular, are a plus)</div>
<div>- have very good written and oral English communication
skills</div>
<div>- be able to work independently and in a structured
manner</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We offer:</div>
