== OPEN PHD FELLOWSHIP POSITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN, NORWAY ==

The visualization research group at the University of Bergen, Norway 
(UiB) has an opening for a 4-year
PhD fellowship in visualization. The application deadline is July 10, 2013.

The position is not associated with a specific research project, which 
provides considerable freedom and
flexibility for creative work. Research topics will be jointly defined 
by the student and his or her advisor.
We therefore seek a highly-motivated individual with interest in the 
visualization of scientific data.
Successful applicants should have an excellent background in 
visualization, human-computer interaction,
and/or computer graphics, and should have completed their master?s 
thesis on a related topic.
Furthermore, very good programming skills, in particular with respect to 
GPU programming (OpenGL,
OpenCL, CUDA, WebGL, etc.) and a good command of the English language 
are a requirement. The
starting salary is on grade 50 (code 1017/pay framework 20.8) in the 
Civil Service pay grade table;
currently NOK 421,100 (approx. EUR 55,000) gross per year. For further 
information about the position,
please contact Prof. Stefan Bruckner (stefan.bruckner@uib.no 
<mailto:stefan.bruckner@uib.no>).

Applications will be solicited exclusively via the jobbnorge website:

== THE UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN ==
The University of Bergen, Norway (UiB) has approximately 14,500 enrolled 
students and 3,200 faculty and
staff. Six faculties cover most of the traditional university 
disciplines. Within the faculties there are 40
different specialized departments, multi-disciplinary research centers, 
and institutes. The University is
engaged in the European Union?s Framework programs for research and 
technological development and
has been designated as a European Research Infrastructure and a Research 
Training Site in several
scientific fields. Since 1997 more than 500 European researchers 
(professors, senior researchers, post
docs and PhD candidates) have visited Bergen on EU grants, making UiB 
one of the most international
universities, setting out to attract both established and junior 
scientists to contribute to research teams
and work in multidisciplinary research groups. Further information:

== THE VISUALIZATION GROUP ==
The Department of Informatics at UiB is a dynamic international 
environment. The visualization research
group was established in 2006 and focuses on new solutions for the 
effective and efficient visualization of
large and complex data from measurements (e.g., from medical imaging or 
from seismic/sonar sensors),
computational simulation (e.g., from computational fluid dynamics), or 
from analytic modeling (e.g., in
the form of differential equations) for the purpose of data exploration, 
analysis, and presentation.
Despite being a relatively young group, the recent ten-year evaluation 
of all 62 informatics research
groups in Norway conducted by an international evaluation panel on 
behalf of Norway?s Research
Council, found that the group?s "(...) accomplishments made so far are 
excellent." and concluded with an
overall assessment of "very good to excellent". Further information:

== THE CITY OF BERGEN ==
Bergen is Norway's second largest city with over 260,000 inhabitants and

Hordaland on the south-western coast of Norway. Known as the "gateway to 
the fjords", Bergen is

voted #1 in standard of living by
the UNDP?s Human Development Index for several years, make Bergen a very 
attractive place for life and
study. Further information: http://www.visitbergen.com/en
