The Simulation and Interaction in Virtual Environments (SIVE) Lab at
the University of Minnesota Duluth is seeking a postdoctoral
researcher to join our team of computer scientists, boundary layer
meteorologists, atmospheric scientists, engineers, and urban planners
on the GEnUSiS Project. GEnUSiS stands for Green Environmental Urban
Simulations for Sustainability. The project focuses on understanding
the complex relationships between urban form, including green
infrastructure, and the environment. In particular, we are developing
simulation, visualization, and interactive tools aimed at generating
knowledge for how to minimize energy, mitigate pollution, and improve
the urban microclimate. The project is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative
project between researchers at the University of Utah's Mechanical
Engineering Department and the University of Minnesota Duluth's
Computer Science Department. The project is funded by the National
Science Foundation.

Ideal candidates will have experience that demonstrates high-quality
independent research and potential for teaching. Candidates with
demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas are of
particular interest to the GEnUSiS group:

- scientific computing with focus on atmospheric sciences or boundary
   layer meteorology
- simulation and interaction in virtual environments
- GPU programming
- scientific visualization with focus on real-time, immersive
   visualization

To be qualified for the position, the candidate must have a
Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or a related discipline. Candidates
should also be highly capable with the following skills:
– Solid experience programming with C++
– Experience with GPU programming, using CUDA and/or OpenCL
- Interest or experience in real-time interaction and simulation in
   virtual environments

The postdoctoral position is funded by the 3M William L. McKnight
Foundation and includes a professional training component that
requires the postdoctoral researcher teach one class during the
appointment.

Initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of
renewal for subsequent years.
