Dear VIS community, <br>
<br>
This mailing list is typically used for sharing academic updates and
job openings. In this post, however, it is all about giving a
finishing PhD., master student, or (in general) VIS-interested
person the opportunity to stay a valuable member in our community.<br>
Please, help us to spread the word for finding a research
engineer/developer for our academic spin-off GraphPolaris (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.graphpolaris.com">www.graphpolaris.com</a>).
Also, if our core topic (multivariate/multi-layer or knowledge graph
analysis) sparks your interest, I would be happy to discuss
potential use-cases and/or application-scenarios.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
Michael Behrisch and Remco Chang<br>
<br>
=============================<br>
<br>
Dear all,<br>
<br>
With this email, I would like to steer your attention to a unique
job opportunity and advertise a potentially interesting next step
and career entrance opportunity in the ‘GraphPolaris Developer
Hiring Round 2022’. Our academic spin-off GraphPolaris (<a href="http://www.graphpolaris.com">www.graphpolaris.com</a>) is
searching for <b>Front-end/Full-Stack DEVELOPERs who strive with us
to remove the frustration and uncertainty of the analysis of
complex network datasets</b>. We firmly believe that data analysis
processes should be (more) centered around the person who does the
analysis or makes the business decisions. A human-centered approach
will inevitably lead to more, better, and more sustainable
innovations in business and societal settings.

automatically generated" width="212" hspace="12" height="199" align="left"><b>How and What:</b> In GraphPolaris, we combine the
creativity and common knowledge of the human with the
number-crunching capabilities of the machine and <b>make insights
visible, explainable, and auditable through visual interactive
analysis interfaces</b>. Our main product, the Graph Database
Explorer, is the logical first manifestation of this credo: We are
building a visual graph analytics framework that focuses on easy,
explainable, and efficient access to (multivariate) graph databases
with better visualization support and a ready-to-use graph ML
toolbox. Our unique selling points are (1) a full-fledged, dedicated
graph analysis workflow that starts with questions around data
quality and schema consistency, evolves (2) around an intuitive
query formulation in a no-code visual query editor, and lets the
user loop effortlessly through query-refinement and interactive
exploration of (3) better visualization techniques than just
node-link diagrams. <br>
<br>
<b>Who we are:</b> GraphPolaris was founded by Dr. Michael Behrisch
and Prof. Remco Chang. Michael is a Professor for Visual Analytics
at the Utrecht University, driven by the motivation to bring good
Visualization and Visual Analytics research results into
environments (business, public sector, research) where they can make
an impact. Michael is experienced in managing and acquiring research
projects and worked for six years as a business analyst (startup
& technical innovation research for Deutsche Telekom). He
coordinates the GraphPolaris team effort, market assessment,
outreach tasks, and manages tasks for knowledge transfer activities.
Remco Chang is a Professor for Visual Analytics at the Tufts
University in Medford, USA, whose research embodies the concept of
letting human analysts steer the processing power of the PC through
visual interactive interfaces to accomplish explainable, faithful,
and usable data analysis results. Remco has a track record of
various high-profile international research grants and gained
startup experience with the Kyrix visualization system in the team
of Mike Stonebraker (Touring award winner, Ingres/Postgres).<br>
<br>
<b>Where we are: </b>We are in a seed stage of our startup life,
have several MVPs, and concluded a target customer/market analysis.
We have received the NWO Takeoff grant for feasibility and initial
market studies, the Google Startup Cloud Grant for hosting and
operational expenses, and now proudly received the NWO Demonstrator
grant for proving Product-Market-Fit. <br>
<br>
<br>

<b>What we search for: </b>The task descriptions for this position
