My group is still looking for a post-doc to work with us in the area of 
virtual environments and simulation. Specifically, we are working on 
simulating the complex interactions between urban cities and the 
environment, and would like to further develop immersive, decision 
support tools for interacting with our simulations. See below for more 
information, or feel free to email me [Pete Willemsen 
<willemsn@d.umn.edu <mailto:willemsn@d.umn.edu>>].

Also, Please feel free to circulate this posting to anyone that may be 
interested.

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 interaction 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 will be
expected to contribute to research and publication activities within
our group. Candidates with demonstrated experience in one or more of
the following areas are of particular interest to the GEnUSiS group:

– visualization and interaction in virtual environments
- scientific simulation
- GPU programming related to visualization or scientific computation

To be qualified for the position, the candidate must have a
Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.

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.
