Research Assistant/PostDoc - Visualization of Neuroscientific Data

by eurographics＠eg.org

Research Assistant/PostDoc - Visualization of Neuroscientific Data The Virtual Reality Group at RWTH Aachen University focuses on application-driven research in virtual reality and scientific visualization. We are currently looking to expand our team in the area of large data visualization. The open position is embedded in the Human Brain Project, one of two FET EU flagship projects (http://www.humanbrainproject.eu). You will be developing visualization methods for heterogeneous data sets including, e.g., medical imaging data, experimentally acquired data, and large-scale neural network simulations. Major challenges are the heterogeneity and volatility of existing workflows and the size and amount of available data sets. As part of your work you will present your results at internationally visible venues. Successful candidates will have a university degree in computer science or a related subject. You have specialized in scientific visualization, real-time computer graphics, and/or parallel programming. In addition, you have acquired solid skills in software development, ideally while participating in one or more major software projects. You are highly motivated to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment. You will be employed by RWTH Aachen University, one of Germany's premier institutions in engineering and science, as a full-time research assistant (TV-L E13) or PostDoc (TV-L E14). As a research assistant, you will be given the opportunity to work towards a PhD degree in computer science. As a post-doc you will conduct independent research in order to further sharpen and extend your academic profile and advise PhD students during their daily research work. For more information please contact Prof. Dr. Torsten Kuhlen Head Virtual Reality Group, RWTH Aachen University Email: kuhlen(a)vr.rwth-aachen.de or mail your formal application to Rechen- u.

SCA 2013 Call for Posters

by eurographics＠eg.org

SCA 2013 Call for Posters The SCA poster and demo session is the perfect opportunity for authors to display late-breaking technical achievements that are not yet ready for publication as a full paper. As in previous years, the poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program. The poster session will be held Friday evening, and will follow a fast-forward session during which all presenters will give a one-minute description of their work. A Best Poster award will be presented to the top poster. Posters are not formal publications. Work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication, and will be exempt from inclusion in the ACM and Eurographics Digital Libraries. However, the 2-page extended abstracts will still be distributed to the attendees on the preprint proceedings USB drive. For further details and submission instructions please visit: <http://sca2013.cs.tamu.edu/callForPosters.html> http://sca2013.cs.tamu.edu/callForPosters.html The deadline for the extended abstract submissions is this Friday, May 31.

C&G Special Section on Uncertainty and Parameter Space Analysis in Visualization

by eurographics＠eg.org

C&G Special Section on Uncertainty and Parameter Space Analysis in Visualization (Submission Deadline: ***July 15, 2013***) For details see: <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/unc ertainty-and-parameter-space-analysis-in-visualization/> http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/unce rtainty-and-parameter-space-analysis-in-visualization/ Uncertainty and parameter space analysis in visualization are becoming increasingly prevalent and play an important role in astronomic, (bio)-medical, industrial, and engineering applications. All these areas require methods and techniques which help domain specialists to understand the processes involved in data generation, the reliability of the data, and the distribution of and reasons for uncertainty. Furthermore, with increasing algorithmic complexity additional questions arise: How does a slight parameter change modify the result? How stable is a parameter? In which range is a parameter stable, or which parameter set is optimal for a specific problem? Such questions are frequently neglected when new visualization techniques are introduced. This special section of Computers and Graphics on Uncertainty and Parameter Space Analysis in Visualization is a follow up initiative to the Guest editors IEEE VisWeek 2012 tutorial with the same name (see <http://bit.ly/R93BXv> http://bit.ly/R93BXv). Our aim is to promote research which takes into account the various aspects of uncertainty and its influence on the visualization pipeline, as well as algorithmic stability and the exploration of parameters. We invite the authors to submit high-quality research-focused contributions of all aspects of uncertainty visualization and parameter space analysis. Important Dates: June 15, 2013: Special Section opens for submissions July 1, 2013: Abstracts due July 15, 2013: Submissions due August 15, 2013: 1st Decision September 15, 2013: Revised versions due September 30, 2013: Final decision October 15, 2013: Final versions of accepted papers due December 2013: Publication Guest editors: Christoph Heinzl Stefan Bruckner Eduard Gröller
