Dear colleagues,
Please feel free to circulate this posting to anyone that may be interested:
*Full description and online application:
**http://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/vacancies/Pages/default.aspx?rmpage=job&rmjob=1420*
*Information about the project
*We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow in the research
area of Interactive Visualization. This area combines research into
human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and visual design, aiming
to facilitate analytical reasoning as we employ our perceptual and
cognitive abilities to understand complex information.
Ideal candidates will have a proven track record that demonstrates
high-quality independent research. Candidates with demonstrated
experience and a high quality publication record on one or several of
the following topics are of particular interest:
– human-body reconstruction and tracking
– scientific visualization
– immersive visualization
– human-computer interaction
*Major responsibilities *
The project will focus on finding and developing interaction methods for
large displays that support analytical reasoning for a range of
visualization applications. Interaction methods integrating multi-touch
and touch-less gesture-based interaction will be of particular interest.
Focus will be given to real-life applications and evaluation. The
candidate will also be encouraged to propose research projects of their own.
*Position summary*
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of
two years (1+1).
*Required qualifications and experience*
To qualify for the position of postdoc, the candidate must have a Ph.D.
degree in Computer Science or a related discipline; the degree should
generally not be older than three years. Furthermore, candidates should:
– have solid experience with C++
– know GPU programming
– have experience with point cloud processing
Further qualifications that will be given consideration are:
– strong teamwork capability
– experience of software tools for visualization and interaction
– interest in interaction design for real-life applications
Ideal candidates will have publication experience from IEEE VisWeek
VAST/SciVis, EG, and/or SIGGRAPH, paired with ambitions for CHI and UIST.
The position will be located within the t2i lab, http://www.t2i.se
<http://www.t2i.se/>, hosted at the division of Interaction Design of
the Department of Applied Information Technology,
http://www.chalmers.se/ait/EN/. Our lab is part of the EU Marie Curie
project on Data Intensive Visual Analytics (DIVA); we also run projects
with several hi-tech companies such as Volvo, Semcon, and Sectra. Our
department has more than 80 faculty members and offers a number of
degrees to students committed to scholarship in the wide area of
computer science and information technology. We, and most of our
industrial partners, are located at Lindholmen Science Park, one of
Sweden’s most dynamic hi-tech hubs located only five minutes from the
downtown area. Finally, our research environment offers a Barco Galaxy
4K-23, a 6 by 3.2 meters display, equipped with touch sensing.
The position is for two years, with a pre-tax salary of 36.500
SEK/month. As the candidate’s career development is the main focus of
this position, teaching and research support will only add up to 100
hours/year only. Relocation costs to Sweden can be paid and help to find
a suitable place to live can be provided.
*Application procedure*
/The application should be marked with Ref 20130175 and written in
English. The application should be sent electronically and be attached
as pdf-files, as below:/
1. *Application*: (Please name the appendix in the e-recruitment system
as: APPLICATION, Surname, reference number)
− CV, include complete list of publications,
− two references that we can contact.
2. *Personal letter/Qualifications* 1-3 pages where you introduce
yourself, present your qualifications, and describe your future
research plans.
− previous research fields and main research results.
− future goals and research focus. Is there any specific projects
and research issues you are primarily interested in?
3. *Other*:
− attested copies of completed education, grades and other certificates.
Please use the button at the bottom of the page to reach the application
form. The files may be compressed (zipped).
Application deadline: 2013-09-25 or until the position is filled.
