Currently, 32 staff members work at the Department, running various national and European projects that focus on both fundamental and applied research. The department has a strong connection with the environment and in this capacity leads the Information Engineering Center that provides an IT cluster and meeting place for research, industry and public actors.
The advertised position will be placed in the ISOVIS group (
http://cs.lnu.se/isovis/ ) led by Professor Andreas Kerren. The research group mainly focuses on the explorative analysis and visualization of typically large and complex information spaces, for example in biochemistry, humanities, or software engineering. Our vision is to attack the big data challenge by a combination of human-centered data analysis and interactive visualization for decision making. These research topics are highly relevant for academia and economy as both science and industry make increasing use of data-intensive technologies.
Field of subject for the position:
Computer Science with specialization in Information Visualization and Visual Analytics
Placement:
Linnaeus University, Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Technology, Växjö, Sweden
Extent and period:The basis for a postdoctoral position is 100 % permanent position to no longer then a maximum of two years.

Good programming skills (Java, JavaScript, HTML5, WebGL/OpenGL) and a solid training in mathematics and computer graphics are highly preferred. Documented expertise and working experience within at least one of the following research and educational areas is a great advantage:
• (Multivariate/Temporal) network visualization
• Collaborative visual analysis and interaction
• Visual analytics of Big Data
• Multidimensional visualization techniques in combination with machine learning and/or data mining techniques
• Visual text analytics
• Experiences in specific application domains and their visualization needs, such as in systems biology, social sciences, etc.
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English are required. Teamwork experiences should also be documented in the application. Since the subject is male-dominated, we encourage female applicants.
Applicants will be selected through a qualitative overall assessment of the competences and skills, assessed most suitable to conduct research and to contribute to a successful development of the research environment.
