This position is for an Experienced Researcher (ER) in an EU-FP7 Marie Curie Actions Initial Training Network called DIVA: Data Intensive Visualization and Analysis. DESCRIPTION The DIVA project is an international EU-FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) with a focus on structured and collaborative research and teaching activities in Data Intensive Visualization and Analysis methodologies, in data-driven science and technology application domains. DIVA involves three academic institutions (University of Zürich, University of Rostock and Chalmers Technical University), one research lab (CRS4) and two industrial partners (Diginext and Holografika). PROJECT This open position is for an experiences researcher, Postdoc, specifically in computer science with a focus on parallel 3D computer graphics and scientific visualization. With the continuing increase in parallelism, being it cluster of distributed graphics nodes or multi-GPU solutions, flexible parallel as well as distributed rendering methods and visualization systems are in high demand. The emphasis of this open position in this context is on the development of new scalable multi-level dynamic load balancing techniques optimizing single-frame parallel rendering as well as dynamic allocation of the visualization systems distributed graphics and computing resources. Furthermore, interoperability including failure detection and recovery strategies are of primary interest as well as the development of parallel and distributed visualization services applying novel cloud-computing principles. Currently targeted application domains include the aerospace industry, advanced display systems, bio-medical imaging, geo-visualization, urban planning, architectural modeling, material science, molecular visualization and more. Increasingly interactive in-situ visualization solutions in the context of specific application domains are of interest too. On the part of the applicant, this position requires a high interest and previous experience not only in real-time graphics and scientific visualization, but also in distributed and parallel cluster systems and services. Furthermore, a strong interest and good skills in learning new programming frameworks, 3rd-party code and networked computer systems is necessary, as the targeted research project also builds on previously developed frameworks. The activities of the position not only include research and continuing training, but also support in teaching as well as administrative tasks and project management. The main research goal is to conduct excellent research generating results which are published and presented in top international journals and conferences. LOCATION AND WORKPLACE This advertised position is at the University of Zurich (UZH), which is an internationally recognized research university with faculties in medicine, humanities, economics as well as mathematical and natural sciences. UZH is the largest university in Switzerland and ranked among the top world leading research universities, e.g. according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and has recently been ranked top 15 in Europe (59th worldwide). The Department of Informatics (IFI) covers major computer science and information management research and teaching topics, it offers BSc, MSc as well as PhD degrees in computer science.
