The Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL) at UIC has multiple open graduate 
student positions in visualization projects (infovis, scivis, biovis, 
HCI, VR), to be filled by Fall 2015. EVL conducts interdisciplinary 
research in computer graphics and visualization---distributed 
visualization, visualization instrumentation, biovis, scivis, infovis, 
HCI, VR and management of next-generation networked visualization 
initiatives---to create globally-connected visualization display 
hardware and software that enable collaboration among teams of 
scientists, engineers, industrial designers, and artists. Globally noted 
for its invention of the CAVEâ?¢ virtual reality theater (1991), EVL 
represents the oldest formal collaboration between engineering and art 
in the US. EVL facilities include a CAVE2, interactive tables, sensing 
spider-suits, and wall-sized displays that support local and distance 
collaboration.

EVL is part of the Computer Science Department at UIC. The combined 
expertise of the twenty-seven CS faculty members is extraordinary. Ten 
of the faculty have received prestigious National Science Foundation 
CAREER awards, and four of the faculty are recipients of UICâ??s top 
teaching excellence award. The educational opportunities are 
outstanding, from Virtual Reality and Visualization courses to a unique 
Field Course in Computational Population Biology, taught partly on site 
in a Kenyan reservation. The department is a leading research unit, with 
annual research funding exceeding $9 million.

The Chicago campus of the University of Illinois (UIC) ranks third among 
U.S. universities in an international ranking of the top 100 young 
universities in the world. The largest campus in the Chicago area, UIC 
has nearly 30,000 students (40% are graduate students), 15 
colleges---including the nation's largest medical school---and annual 
research expenditures exceeding $335 million. A truly global 
institution, more than a third of UIC students speak English as a second 
language; UIC's student body is recognized as one of the most diverse in 
the US.

Chicago is a beautiful, gorgeous US city like no other: there are 80+ 
different architectural tours, beaches and yachts, city life (second 
only to NYC in the US), amazing public transportation, both quiet and 
hipster neighborhoods, a huge number of connecting flights, wonderful 
diversity and culture.
