PhD Position in Visualization of Health Information<br>
at Graz University of Technology for 3 Years<br>
--------------------------------<br>
<br>
We are looking for a motivated researcher on the PhD student level
to join the Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge
Visualization at Graz University of Technology, Austria, in the
area of Information Visualization. The position is within the new
Austrian Science Fund (FWF) research group Human-Centered
Interactive Adaptive Visual Approaches in High-Quality Health
Information. In collaboration with researchers in Medicine and
Psychology, we will research new approaches for visualization of
consumer health information, which can adapt to user profiles and
information need. The position is available for initially three
years and with the possibility to develop a PhD thesis in Computer
Science at Graz University of Technology.<br>
<br>
<br>
Research Context<br>
----------------<br>
<br>
Consumer health information systems (CHIS) are indispensable in
the modern healthcare system and fulfill many functions. Current
CHIS, however, are often static and do not adjust to individual
information needs, preferences and abilities of consumers. In this
project we will research foundations, applications and evaluation
of a new class of adaptive, interactive visual health information
systems, called A+CHIS. The novelty of our project lies in
introducing multi-dimensional adaptivity to the information
presentation to users, aiming at a better personal understanding
of the meaning of the provided medical content in visual form. The
new A+CHIS will adapt the kind of information, its level of
detail, and the form of visual presentation to the individual user
context.<br>
<br>
<br>
Applicant Profile<br>
-----------------<br>
<br>
A master degree in computer science, information systems,
information science, telematics, mathematics, or related studies
is required. One or more of the following skills are desired:
Knowledge in computer graphics, information visualization,
information retrieval, data bases, interactive systems, or data
analysis. Practical skills in a current programming language
(e.g., Java, C#, Python, Web-based development) are required.
Interest to work in a collaborative research environment with
project partners in Medicine and Psychology is expected.<br>
<br>
<br>
Position Details and Working Environment<br>
----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The position is available for initially three years, starting in
June 2021 or later. The opportunity to develop a Ph.D. thesis with
the Doctoral School of Computer Science at Graz University of
Technology is provided. The full-time gross salary for this
position is, depending on the employment level, up to 2.971,50
Euro per month (14 times a year), and includes social insurance.<br>
Our institute offers a creative working atmosphere in a motivated,
cooperative, and technically very well equipped environment. We
offer excellent professional and personal development
possibilities. Our institute is part of the Visual Computing
research cluster in Graz, offering an excellent scientific
environment at large. The city of Graz and its surroundings offer
exceptional quality of living.<br>
