At the Department of Informatics (http://www.uib.no/ii/en) one 4-year position as research fellow is available within the field of informatics. This position is part of an interdisciplinary research project Physioillustration, which is funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The main goal of the project is to advance visualization technology that communicates complex biological processes and machineries in an understandable way, conveyed along the lines of traditional craft of illustration and 3D animation. The central research question is: “How can a complex system of processes be visually communicated to a human in a clear and intuitive way?”. We base our investigation on data available nowadays in computational biology, as this scientific discipline generates data that matches very well with the central goal of the project. The research team will consist of visualization researchers, as the central discipline and of an illustrator and a researcher in bioinformatics as complementary disciplines.
