</p>
<p>In the Visualization and MultiMedia Lab, Department of Computer
Science at the University of Zürich (UZH), there is a new open
position for a research assistant in PhD program in computer
science with a focus on foveated perceptual levels-of-detail
(LODs) in geographic feature visualization.</p>
<p>We anticipate the project to have three phases: conceptual
development, software implementation and an empirical user
evaluation. The empirical evaluation phase will be hosted at the
Geographic Information Visualization and Analysis unit at the UZH
Department of Geography, and will be advised by Dr. Çöltekin.</p>
<p>The project requires strong interest not only in visualization
and graphics but also in cartography, perception and in
experimental user studies. Furthermore, good software programming
skills are required as well as a strong interest and ability in
learning new mathematical methods and complex software frameworks
is highly recommended, as the targeted research project also
builds on previously developed results and geo-visualization
frameworks. Good C++, 3D graphics and geometry programming skills
are needed.<br>
</p>
Qualifications:<br>
A Master degree in computer science or closely related area with a
strong CS component from a re- search university is required to
enter the PhD program of UZH. A prior focus on visualization,
graphics, imaging or geography, as well as experience in programming
is also required.<br>
