''We are one of the youngest universities in Germany and think in terms of unlimited possibilities instead of possible limitations. Located in the heart of the Ruhr metropolis, we have 11 faculties seeking to develop innovative ideas for the future. We are dedicated to research and teaching, live diversity, support potential and are highly committed to educational equality.''

'''The University of Duisburg-Essen is offering at the Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems (ICB), Campus Essen'''

== Three Positions as Research Associate in "Visualization" ==
'''(Salary Group 13 TV-L)'''

=== Description of position: ===

The newly established research group investigates novel visual representations of data. Leveraging interactive software solutions, we study foundations of visualization research and their application in practice.

You develop new visualization approaches, which you implement as interactive software system and evaluate in user studies. The publication of these approaches in renown journals and conferences gets you in touch with the international scientific community. Preparing and teaching courses is the basis for collaborating with undergraduate and graduate students.

We offer individual supervision of your research and appreciate good team collaboration. Considering your interests and background, we specify the precise scope of your research in joint discussion. Current research topics that you might contribute to are:
* Visualization of networks, hierarchies, and set structures
* Visualization of program behavior and software evolution
* Integration of text and visualization
* Computer-supported editing of data
* User studies for evaluating interactive systems

The positions as research associate (f/m) are to fill at the earliest date possible for three years, with a possibility for extension. They are full-time positions with an option for part time employment if desired (at least 50%). The employment provides the opportunity to qualify as a researcher and to submit a doctoral dissertation.

=== Your profile: ===

You are fascinated by data visualization, enjoy creative thinking, and are eager to learn. Your abilities to solve complex problems enable you to think one step ahead. You enjoy working as part of a team and look forward to developing interactive software systems.

You graduated having good grades with a university degree of at least 8 semesters in computer science or a related area, or are about to graduate within the next three months. Ideally, you already have previous experience in one of the following topics: visualization, human-computer interaction, software engineering, web development, media communication, visual perception and cognition. You communicate fluently in English and are willing to learn German.

All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library.

=== Technical papers ===

These contributions describe in-depth mature research results in the above-mentioned areas of interest. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit such video should provide a URL to the video. Technical papers have to be maximum 10 pages long (including bibliography and annexes).

* Abstract submission date: April 27, 2015
* Full paper submission date: May 4, 2015
* Author response period: June 8 - 12, 2015
* Notification: June 18, 2015

Artifacts: Traditionally, technical research papers are published without including any artifacts (such as tools, data, models, videos, etc.), even though the artifacts may serve as crucial and detailed evidence for the quality of the results that the associated paper offers. Following the effort initiated at ESEC/FSE’11, authors of accepted technical papers at VISSOFT 2015 can have their artifacts evaluated by the program committee. Positively evaluated artifacts will be reflected in the paper publication and presentation. More information about the artifacts may be found on http://www.artifact-eval.org.

* Artifact submission for accepted papers: June 24, 2015
* Artifact notification: July 31, 2015

Awards: VISSOFT 2015 will award distinguished technical papers. Monetary awards will be sponsored by ObjectProfile.com

Special issue: We plan to invite a selection of the technical papers accepted at VISSOFT 2015 to submit an extended version to a journal.

=== NIER papers ===

The NIER contributions (New Ideas and Emerging Results) describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors should include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas or even support through new research collaborations. NIER papers have to be maximum 5 pages long (including bibliography and annexes).

* Paper submission date: June 15, 2015
* Notification: July 31, 2015

=== Tool papers ===

Tool contributions describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on relevant tool construction aspects or the use of the tool for gaining new insights. Authors should be prepared to demonstrate their tool at the conference. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast (video). Tools papers have to be maximum 5 pages long (including bibliography and annexes).
