Description of the position

The UiB visualization group (http://www.ii.UiB.no/vis) is a relatively new and still expanding research group at the UiB Department of Informatics. Currently one professor, one associate professor, five PhD students, and several Master students work on medical visualization, the interactive visual exploration and analysis of data from the oil & gas sector, from meteorology & climate research, as well as from other application fields. The group offers a visualization Master study program to students of computer science (dimensioned 120 ECTS in two years) with courses on computer graphics, visualization, special topics in visualization, etc.

The activities of the visualization group focus first and foremost on (a) computer science education with a special emphasis on visualization and (b) visualization research that is of internationally acknowledged top quality and that at the same time is oriented at the needs of application fields, primarily considered in a local and national context. The visualization group adheres to the principle that good (and hard) work only is possible if it is also fun to work – the good atmosphere in the group is of high importance, accordingly.

  • are willing (and able) to strongly support the teaching which is required to continuously offer the UiB Master study program on Visualization to students of Computer Science (as well as to support undergraduate teaching in Computer Science), involving the teaching of respective courses, coaching of students during their projects

(especially also including their Master thesis project), etc., and who

  • have a very strong potential for successful visualization research on an international level (also in the context of collaborative research [1]). Preferences with respect to selected directions of visualization research are welcome as long as they blend well with the ongoing (and with the planned) research activities of the visualization

group. It is important that the competences of the applicant match what is required by the application fields which are addressed by the visualization group, including medical applications, the oil&gas industry, meteorology / climate research. [1] collaboration with students, fellow researchers, application fields, and colleagues from the international scientific community

According to our expectations, we foresee the new PostDoc in Visualization to (a) help with offering the UiB Master study program in visualization, to (b) strengthen ongoing / planned visualization research, to (c) support PhD projects in the group through collaboration, and to (d) help with the acquisition of funding for new research projects.
