*Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden: *
*Opening for Senior Lecturer in Visualization, Computer graphics and
Simulation engines*
*
*
The Department of Applied IT is carrying out research and education
within the complete milieus Informatics, Learning and Visualization. As
part of both Chalmers University of Technology and the University of
Gothenburg the research is encompassing many different disciplines with
high relevance for the community. The education is characterized by the
interplay between people, people and technology as well as technology’s
relation to organizations and the surrounding community.
Just over a hundred members of staff work at the department in one of
the research and educational milieus. The department is located at
Campus Lindholmen and has close co operations with industry and the
public sector.
Chalmers University of Technology invites applications for a senior
lecturer in Visualization with a special focus on Computer graphics and
Simulation engines. The position is placed at the Department of Applied
Information Technology within the Division of Interaction Design. The
position is part of an ongoing reinforcement and expansion of the
visualization area within the Department of Applied IT, with strong
connection to the Visualization Centre at Chalmers University of
Technology and Gothenburg University, and the Visual Arena Lindholmen at
Lindholmen Science Park.
Interaction design focuses on the development of interactive artifacts
where ICT is a central component. It is a multidisciplinary field where
knowledge from programming, electronics, aesthetics, cognitive science,
graphical design, and psychology intertwine and collaboration over
disciplinary boundaries is common. Regardless of the intended area of
use, the design of interaction between people and technologies requires
a holistic perspective incorporating aspects from several academic
domains. The division focuses especially on information visualization,
scientific visualization, intelligent user interfaces, multimodal
interaction, tangible user interfaces, gameplay design, and aesthetics
of computational technology.
*Job description **
*The position is a full time tenure employment. The position includes
teaching at all levels, from undergraduate to postgraduate. It includes
supervision of PhD students, conducting research and administrative and
management tasks. Research and teaching are expected to be strongly
linked to the Interaction design and Technologies master’s programme
(see www.ixdcth.se <http://www.ixdcth.se/>).
Collaboration with industrial, academic and governmental partners and
society in general are also important parts of the work.
Research and teaching focusing on various aspects of visualization with
an emphasis on technical aspects where computer graphics and simulation
engines provide important foundations as well as enable the exploration
of new and innovative designs that address a multitude of interaction
design challenges. We expect the candidates to take a leading role in
advancing the role of visualization and the applied use in the field of
interaction design.
Successful applicants should prove ability to collaborate with
industrial, academic, and governmental partners and also be capable of
successfully applying for external grants for research. Over time, the
applicants own research and the PhD students are expected to be financed
primarily with external grants.
*Qualifications**
*To be qualified for the position the applicants must have a Ph.D.
degree in Interaction Design, Computer Science or a closely related
field and documented pedagogical experience. Junior candidates must
demonstrate publications in international top-level publications and the
ambition to become an excellent teacher and researcher. Senior
applicants should have an outstanding track record of research,
demonstrated ability for academic leadership and teaching accomplishments.
Successful applicants should have programming expertise in
visualization, simulation engines, computer graphics. Documented
experience of applying visualization techniques on different domains is
required.
Teaching experience is needed. For the position as Senior Lecturer
experience from research within academia or qualified research and
development within industry or the public sector is meritorious.
The undergraduate courses are normally taught in Swedish, and the
graduate level teaching is in English. Thus good language skills are
required. Applicants who do not have Swedish as native language must be
able to teach in Swedish after two years of employment.
