The German Aerospace Center DLR has a dual mandate as the national 
research center for aeronautics and space, and as the space agency of 
the German federal government.

For our institute Data Science in Jena, Germany, we wish to recruit a 
qualified

========================================

Computer Scientist in Visual Analytics

========================================

Software Research for Visualization and Analysis of Big Data

========================================

Your Mission:

----------------

We are looking for computer scientists to investigate efficient 
frameworks and methods for Visual Analytics in the domain of space, 
aeronautics, transportation, and energy. Your mission would be to 
contribute to the Visual Analytics group by investigating and developing 
new analysis and visualization approaches:

- Design and development of a Visual Analytics module which should 
become an extension to DLR’s geographical 3D rendering system (in 
cooperation with the DLR institute Simulation and Software Technology).

- Integration of Data Mining methods (mainly contributed by the DLR 
institute for DLR Remote Sensing Technology Institute).

- Investigation of advanced approaches for 2D and 3D information 
visualization applications.

- Development of domain-driven scaling methods for temporal and spatial 
data.

- Assessment of data quality and uncertainty in derived data products.

- Efficient coupling of data management and data mining with interfaces 
for user interaction.

- Research on methods for multi-user systems and multi-touch displays 
with respect to cognitive aspects.

- Evaluation of the overall system with respect to efficiency, user 
acceptance, and risk of misinterpretations.

- Development of a distributed and parallel architecture with the 
integration of supercomputer resources.

- Development of a web-based interface for citizen science.

- Integration of efficient rendering methods on graphics cards.

In Jena, a new DLR institute will be stablished. If you love to work in 
software development and want to become a member of complete new team, 
we would be happy to receive your application. We are looking for highly 
motivated people with the ambition to initiate new projects with other 
DLR institutes as well as research institutions located in Thuringia, 
Germany. We are offering an environment where people can bring in own 
ideas. We expect that new projects are inspired and advanced methods are 
investigated. Part of your job will also be the presentation of your 
research on international conferences and in scientific journals. We are 
offering an exciting, friendly, and flexible working environment which 
also provides part time.

Required Qualifications:

----------------------------

- You have an excellent Master in Computer Science or in a similar 
research direction.

- You are an expert in object-oriented software development in C++.

- You possess a profound knowledge in Computer Graphics with OpenGL / WebGL.

- You knowledge about methods from Information Visualization and Visual 
Analytics are substantial.

- You are a team player, creative, and able to work independent and 
self-motivated.

- You are fluent in spoken and written English (knowledge of German is 
an asset).

Following knowledge and skills would be useful:

- Solid training in mathematics, data mining, and machine learning.

- Basis understanding of cognitive science and human-machine interaction.

- Experiences with parallelization techniques (like MPI, OpenMP, CUDA) 
and distributed systems (e.g. Apache Hadoop).

- Software Engineering methods (Continuous Integration, Git, etc.).

If you have any questions concerning specific aspects of the job, please 
contact Dr. Andreas Gerndt by calling +49 531 295-2782. Please find
