PhD Position in Visualization at University of Konstanz

The Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) and the Computer and Information Science (CS) department at the University of Konstanz in Germany offer a PhD position in the area of information visualization for biology. 

We are searching for excellent candidates either in bioinformatics or in computer science with knowledge relevant to (biological) data visualization.
In the project we will develop new data-analysis and visualization methods for high-throughput screening in Chemical Biology. Hit selection and sub-structure determination through clustering will be optimized with regards to chemical relevance.
Results will be visualized by different parallel views that allow coherent interaction. An important aspect in visualization will be to reduce the cognitive load of the viewer.
A successful candidate will be offered a full three years TVL 13 position and associated with KoRS-CB and CS.

Junior Research Groups Leaders at the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication

Max Planck Institute for Informatics

The Max Planck Institute for Informatics, as the coordinator of the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication (MPC-VCC), invites applications for

Junior Research Groups Leaders

in the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication

The Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communications offers young scientists in information technology the opportunity to develop their own research program addressing 

-          important problems in areas such as

-          image communication

-          computer graphics

-          geometric computing

-          imaging systems

-          computer vision

-          human machine interface

-          distributed multimedia architectures

-          multimedia networking

-          visual media security

The center includes an outstanding group of faculty members at Stanford's Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and Saarland University.

The program begins with a preparatory 1-2 year postdoc phase (Phase P) at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, followed by a two-year appointment at Stanford University (Phase I) as a visiting assistant professor, and then a position at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics as a junior research group leader (Phase II). However, the program can be entered flexibly at each phase, commensurate with the experience of the applicant.

Applicants to the program must have completed an outstanding PhD. Exact duration of the preparatory postdoc phase is flexible, but we typically expect this to be about 1-2 years. Applicants who completed their PhD in Germany may enter Phase I of the program directly. Applicants for Phase II are expected to have completed a postdoc stay abroad and must have demonstrated their outstanding research potential and ability to successfully lead a research group.

Reviewing of applications will commence on 01 Jan 2013. The final deadline is 31 Jan 2013. Applicants should submit their CV, copies of their school and university reports, list of publications, reprints of five selected publications, names of references, a brief description of their previous research and a detailed description of the proposed research project (including possible opportunities for collaboration with existing research groups at Saarbrücken and Stanford) to:

               

                Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Seidel

                Max Planck Institute for Informatics,

                Campus E 1 4, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany;
