  Tenure-Track Faculty - Visualization

The University of Utah is seeking to hire an outstanding tenure-track 
faculty member in data visualization at the Assistant Professor level.  
The position is a joint effort between the Natural History Museum of 
Utah and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, with either the 
Department of Geography or the School of Computing serving as the tenure 
home.  The appointment would reflect the candidate’s qualifications 
and interests, and is part of a newly-established, interdisciplinary 
cluster that brings together domain scientists, visualization 
researchers, and learning scientists to engage in novel research and 
outreach related to scientific issues and concepts in biodiversity. For 
more information, see https://nhmu.utah.edu/sustaining-biodiversity.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience or 
demonstrated interest in facilitating knowledge discovery, 
interpretation, and understanding of data/concepts pertaining to 
natural/human systems and biodiversity–with an eye toward 
accessibility by a range of audiences from domain scientists to the 
general public.  Research emphasis might include geovisualization, 
information visualization, scientific visualization, “big data” 
analytics, geographic information science (GIS), visual analytics, 
human-computer interaction, or image cognition for knowledge discovery 
and interpretation.

Responsibilities include:  (1) meaningful collaboration with faculty in 
the /Sustaining Biodiversity/ cluster as well as faculty at the Museum 
and in the relevant academic departments; (2) development and 
maintenance of an ongoing program of scholarly research; (3) design, 
teaching, and coordination of core undergraduate courses in the relevant 
academic department; (4) teaching of graduate level courses in area of 
specialization; (5) advisement and supervision of graduate students; (6) 
development of research funding proposals to appropriate national 
agencies and foundations; (7) engagement with Museum public programming; 
(8) participation in faculty governance at the department, college, and 
university levels.

Review of applications will begin January 15, 2017, and continue until 
the position is filled.  Apply on-line at 
https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/58032 including a CV, research 
samples, names and email addresses of three references, plus statements 
of research, teaching, and programmatic interests (i.e., describe how 
you see your research and academic work potentially impacting and 
contributing to exhibits and public programs at the Museum, particularly 
in collaboration with biodiversity scientists; enter this statement into 
the “Applicant Document—Other” category online).  Candidates must 
have a completed Ph.D. by the time of appointment. Questions may be 
directed to the Museum’s Executive Director, Sarah George 
(sgeorge@nhmu.utah.edu <mailto:sgeorge@nhmu.utah.edu>) or the Director 
of the SCI Institute, Chris Johnson (crj@sci.utah.edu 
<mailto:crj@sci.utah.edu>).
