[Ieee_vis_open_positions] PhD in Visual Analytics of Virtual Reality for Enriched Visual Rehabilitation

[Behrisch, M. (Michael)]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to steer your attention to the following job opening at the Utrecht University, NL.
The department of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht University has currently one PhD opening:

https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-in-visual-analytics-of-virtual-reality-for-enriched-visual-rehabilitation
Application deadline is 1 September 2024.

In this PhD project, several teams (clinical centers, serious game developers, and academic institutions) combine their multidisciplinary skills to create and deploy a solution for rehabilitating patients having visual impairments by offering them training scenarios using a virtual reality (VR) setup.
As PhD candidate in this project, you will conduct independent high-quality research resulting in a doctoral dissertation. Your research will focus on developing a gamified VR application to collect eye tracking data to measure and treat hemianopsia (partial blindness). Additionally, you will design a Visual Analytics solution for exploring complex data recorded from the training patients including eye tracking, task progress, and success rates. This will enable therapists to monitor and improve patients’ visual rehabilitation progress. You will collaborate with a diverse project team of academics, clinicians, and software developers to realize the goals of the project.

With best regards,
Peter Vangorp, Alex Telea and Michael Behrisch
