<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The position is funded by the DFG (the German Research Foundation) through the Collaborative Research Center "Interface-Driven Multi-Field Processes in Porous Media - Flow, Transport and Deformation". This CRC 1313 is
an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Stuttgart with 18 individual research projects also involving many international partners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">More than 50 researchers collaborate to acquire the fundamental understanding of how interfaces affect flow, transport and deformation processes in porous-media systems. This involves the challenging tasks of quantifying
how the dynamics of fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interfaces in porous-media systems are affected by pore geometry, heterogeneity and fractures, and of developing mathematical and computational models that describe the effective behavior of porous-media systems
including the effects of interfaces that occur on much smaller spatial scales.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The visualization project D01 aims at developing visualization techniques for the interactive investigation of phenomena that occur in and around porous media. It particularly focuses on developing comparative feature-based
visualization methods to relate data from different simulations and experiments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are looking for a PhD candidate who will develop specific visualization approaches for data resulting from projects within CRC, generalize them to be applicable to a wider class of use cases, and combine them into
a flexible porous-media visualization framework that can be customized by the researcher. In the long term, the project aims at bridging the widely acknowledged gap between the techniques used by domain scientists and the approaches available from visualization
research. An open source toolbox of advanced visual analysis techniques for porous-media problems will provide the foundation to support comparative analysis of benchmark results and detailed exploration of where and why deviations actually occur to gain deeper
insights into the respective phenomena.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Part of CRC 1313 is an integrated research training group, where specific short courses, workshops and a summer school are organized to help the doctoral researchers in their training.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">VIS and VISUS are vibrant places for internationally recognized research in visualization, visual analytics, VR&AR, computer vision and HCI offering great opportunities for discussion and collaboration with many other
researchers in a wide range of disciplines in an excellent technically-oriented university. The city of Stuttgart and its vicinity are well-known for providing an attractive, diverse, and open environment for work and live close to cultural highlights and
recreational offers. Applicants will be offered a contract as full-time research assistant in the VIS or VISUS groups under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Ertl.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
