Full-time PhD Position in
Immersive Data Visualization
----------------------------
We are looking for a motivated researcher on the PhD student level for a
new three year project at the Institute of Computer Graphics and
Knowledge Visualization at Graz University of Technology. In context of
a newly approved collaborative research project funded by the Austrian
Research Promotion Agency FFG, the candidate will develop new approaches
for interactive data visualization using immersive and virtual reality
techniques, including the latest generation of head-mounted VR displays.
The position is available for three years with the possibility to
develop a PhD thesis in Computer Science at TU Graz.
Research Context
----------------
Recent advances in virtual reality and immersive display techniques have
sparked new interest in application of these techniques for industrial
data visualization and analysis problems. Virtual reality displays allow
effective inspection and analysis of spatial and geometric data in many
important application domains, including computer-aided design and
spatial data analysis. In cooperation with a renowned research partner
from the automotive industry, the project aims to develop novel methods
to effectively integrate the visualization of 3D data, e.g., CAD
objects, with non-3D data such as time-dependent or multidimensional
measurement data in an immersive visualization environment. The project
includes research on new techniques for data visualization, user
interaction, and data analysis in immersive environments, applied and
evaluated in relevant real use cases.
Applicant Profile
-----------------
A master degree in computer science, information systems, information
science, mechatronics, telematics, mathematics, or related studies is
required. One or more of the following skills are sought: Knowledge in
computer graphics, virtual reality technologies, data visualization,
game engines, or interactive systems. Practical skills in a current
programming environment (e.g., C++, C\#, Java, Python, etc.) are
required. An interest to work on applied research questions in a
collaborative research environment is expected.
Position Details and Working Environment
----------------------------------------
The position is available for three years, starting in spring 2018. The
opportunity to develop a Ph.D. thesis with the Doctoral School for
Computer Science at TU Graz is provided. The full-time gross salary
for this position is at least 2.794,60 Euro per month (14 times a year)
and includes full social insurance.
Our research group offers a creative working atmosphere in a motivated,
cooperative, and technically very well equipped environment. We offer
excellent professional and personal development possibilities. The
research position supports both scientific and applied training of the
researcher and hence, provides an excellent basis for a future career in
interactive data visualization in an industrial context. Our institute
is part of the Visual Computing research cluster in Graz, offering an
excellent scientific environment at large. The city of Graz and the
Austrian state of Styria offer exceptional quality of living.
