Post-doc position at the University of Minnesota Duluth


The Simulation and Interaction in Virtual Environments (SIVE) Lab at the University of Minnesota Duluth is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team of computer scientists, boundary layer meteorologists, atmospheric scientists, engineers, and urban planners on the GEnUSiS Project. GEnUSiS stands for Green Environmental Urban
Simulations for Sustainability. The project focuses on understanding the complex relationships between urban form, including green infrastructure, and the environment. In particular, we are developing simulation, visualization, and interaction tools aimed at generating knowledge for how to minimize energy, mitigate pollution, and improve
the urban microclimate. The project is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative project between researchers at the University of Utah's Mechanical Engineering Department and the University of Minnesota Duluth's Computer Science Department. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation.

Ideal candidates will have experience that demonstrates high-quality independent research and potential for teaching. Candidates will be expected to contribute to research and publication activities within our group. Candidates with demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas are of particular interest to the GEnUSiS group:

– visualization and interaction in virtual environments
- scientific simulation
- GPU programming related to visualization or scientific computation

To be qualified for the position, the candidate must have a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.

The postdoctoral position is funded by the 3M William L. McKnight Foundation and includes a professional training component that requires the postdoctoral researcher teach one class during the appointment.

Initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of
renewal for subsequent years.
