<p class="MsoNormal">HCI and Information Visualization MSc and
PhD Positions at UOIT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Christopher Collins, Canada Research
Chair in Linguistic Information Visualization, is seeking
highly motivated MSc and PhD students for funded research
positions in information visualization, visual analytics, and
human-computer interaction. Positions are available on an
ongoing basis, including Fall 2019. Successful candidates will
join the visualization for information analysis lab (<span
class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://vialab.ca"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://vialab.ca</a></span>), a
well-equipped research facility at the University of Ontario
Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Canada. UOIT, founded in
2002, is Canada’s newest university, located just 40 minutes
east of the vibrant and multicultural city of Toronto.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RESEARCH THEMES<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Themes of research at the vialab include
visual text analytics, interaction design for gestural and
multi-touch interfaces, and computer-assisted learning. In our
world of big data, experts who can research, design,
implement, and manage projects to sift through, analyze, and
reason about data are in very high demand. Business
intelligence, data science, and text analytics are some of the
fastest growing sectors of the economy. Graduates of the
vialab are equipped with interdisciplinary skills in data
analytics, visualization, interaction design, and research
management and leave the lab well-equipped for a variety of
opportunities with governments, business, industry, and
academia.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Example new project areas include designing
intuitive guidance for visual text analytics (how to help
people use visualizations effectively), and investigating ways
to infer and respond to user state (frustration, engagement)
with a variety of state-of-the-art sensor hardware. Many topic
areas are possible upon agreement with the supervisor.<o:p></o:p></p>

with other Canadian and American universities as long as the
student is in good standing in the graduate program. Students
also receive full funding to attend international conferences
(e.g. ACM CHI, ACM ITS, IEEE VIS) to present their research.
Doctoral students are encouraged and supported to participate
in internship opportunities at industry partners.<o:p></o:p></p>
