<p class="MsoNormal">The Interactions Lab in the Department of
Computer Science in the Faculty of Science at the University
of Calgary is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow
in Information Visualization Design.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Job Description: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Innovations in Visualization (led by
Sheelagh Carpendale) and the Data Experience (led by Wesley
Willett) labs are looking for a Post Doctoral Fellow in
Information Visualization, Design, and/or Interaction Design.
The project is an open data initiative that is focused on
developing advanced, interactive data visualizations that will
help make Canada’s energy data publically accessible,
transparent and understandable.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The successful candidate will be deeply
involved in the research in the lab, working closely with
domain experts and stakeholders, creating new design ideas,
developing new visual representations, fine tuning designs,
and creating prototypes and communicating these designs to
relevant team members. They will also be involved in mentoring
students who are working on the project. The successful
candidate’s work will include participating in various
outreach activities – including designing and running
workshops and providing formal and informal demonstrations to
appropriate stakeholders. The successful candidate’s work will
focus explicitly on designing novel interactive visualizations
and interaction techniques and will include opportunities to
publish that work at visualization venues. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Qualifications: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PhD or equivalent degree in Computer
Science, Informatics, Design, or a related field. A background
in information visualization and with extensive experience
designing and developing interactive visualizations is
important. This position will also call upon the candidate’s
ability to understand and apply data analysis approaches in a
broad range of domains. We are interested in candidates with
an ability to bridge the gap between scientific endeavors and
real-world applications, producing results with high external
validity. Experience designing and conducting both qualitative
and quantitative studies are also strongly preferred.
