Hi,

The Wayne State University Computer Science Department has two openings. The below is the job Ad. Even though it lists big data sciences and computational life sciences (e.g., bio/health/medical informatics), outstanding researchers in visualization and computer graphics (with potential applications in these areas) are very welcome to apply. The review of applications has not started yet. So applications submitted soon will still receive full consideration.

Best Regards,

Jing Hua
