One post-doctoral researcher and one Ph.D. position are available at the
Technical University Munich in the area of uncertainty and ensemble
visualization.
The Technical University of Munich currently has a research focus on
uncertainty visualization via an ERC advanced grant of R. Westermann on this
subject. A particular emphasis lies on the efficient handling and visual
exploration of high resolution scalar and vector valued ensemble fields,
resulting from numerical simulations or measurements. It is an area that has
found wide spread use in other research domains such as fluid mechanics,
meteorology, stochastical mechanics, geophysics and mathematics.
Research areas include, but are not limited to, visual mapping of
uncertainty, brushing and linking for uncertainty visualization, uncertain
features in scalar and vector field, uncertain topology, visualization
systems for ensemble data, uncertainty propagation in numerical simulations.
If you are interested in applying, you should have a background in 3D data
visualization and graphics and in particular in the underlying math ,
have experience implementing C/C++ algorithms (and possibly using graphics
APIs such as OpenGL), and you should be excited to work on state-of-the-art
research in the visualization area. Good English skills are also a plus. For
the post-doctoral position, you should have a strong publication record in
visualization, or a related discipline such as mechanics, applied physics or
math.
This is a full time position, with payment and benefits according to the
German public service employment levels (TV-L E13, 100%). To apply, please
send your CV to the address below. Also, if you have questions, simply send
