The Interactions Lab in the Department of Computer Science in the 
Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary is accepting 
applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Information Visualization Design.

Job Description:

The Innovations in Visualization (led by Sheelagh Carpendale) and the 
Data Experience (led by Wesley Willett) labs are looking for a Post 
Doctoral Fellow in Information Visualization, Design, and/or Interaction 
Design. The project is an open data initiative that is focused on 
developing advanced, interactive data visualizations that will help make 
Canada’s energy data publically accessible, transparent and understandable.

The successful candidate will be deeply involved in the research in the 
lab, working closely with domain experts and stakeholders, creating new 
design ideas, developing new visual representations, fine tuning 
designs, and creating prototypes and communicating these designs to 
relevant team members. They will also be involved in mentoring students 
who are working on the project. The successful candidate’s work will 
include participating in various outreach activities – including 
designing and running workshops and providing formal and informal 
demonstrations to appropriate stakeholders. The successful candidate’s 
work will focus explicitly on designing novel interactive visualizations 
and interaction techniques and will include opportunities to publish 
that work at visualization venues.

Qualifications:

PhD or equivalent degree in Computer Science, Informatics, Design, or a 
related field. A background in information visualization and with 
extensive experience designing and developing interactive visualizations 
is important. This position will also call upon the candidate’s ability 
to understand and apply data analysis approaches in a broad range of 
domains. We are interested in candidates with an ability to bridge the 
gap between scientific endeavors and real-world applications, producing 
results with high external validity. Experience designing and conducting 
both qualitative and quantitative studies are also strongly preferred.

Application details:

Please apply by email to Claudia Maurer, claudia.maurer@ucalgary.ca 
<mailto:claudia.maurer@ucalgary.ca>

Please send your CV, a short cover letter and the names of two people 
who can serve as references.
