Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien):
Research Cluster "Smart Communities and Technologies" (Smart CT) at TU Wien
=======================================================

Vice Rectorate for Research and Innovation is seeking for 3 highly
motivated PhD candidates and Post-doctoral scientists in the field of
(a) Cyber-Physical-Human Ecosystem, (b) Model Building and Visual
Analytics, (c) 3D Spatialization in Research Cluster "Smart Communities
and Technologies" (Smart CT) at Vienna University of Technology (TU
Wien) [1], Vienna, Austria

The Research Cluster "Smart Communities and Technologies" (Smart CT) at
TU Wien will provide the scientific underpinnings for next-generation
complex smart city and communities infrastructures. Cities are
ever-evolving, complex cyber physical systems of systems covering a
magnitude of different areas. The initial concept of smart cities and
communities started with cities utilizing communication technologies to
deliver services to their citizens and evolved to using information
technology to be smarter and more efficient about the utilization of
their resources. In recent years however, information technology has
changed significantly, and with it the resources and areas addressable
by a smart city have broadened considerably. They now cover areas like
smart buildings, smart products and production, smart traffic systems
and roads, autonomous driving, smart grids for managing energy hubs and
electric car utilization or urban environmental systems research.

Initially, we have openings for one full-time post-doc university
assistant (40 hours/week) for three years and for one part-time
university assistant (25 hours) PhD position for three years in each of
the following three areas: Cyber-Physical-Human Ecosystem, Model
Building and Visual Analytics, 3D Spatialization

===================================
(a) Cyber-Physical-Human Ecosystem:
===================================
Smart cities exchanging their capabilities in an organic elastic manner,
being able to address whatever challenge and opportunity they face with
the expertise, data, and knowledge of a global network of expert
stakeholders form the basis of our vision for an Internet of Cities.
Here the central focus is to create the scientific underpinnings for a
future Internet of Cities infrastructure. We will create a comprehensive
set of methodologies, models, and tools for design, development,
management, and evolution of next-generation smart city applications.

========================================
(b) Model Building and Visual Analytics:
========================================
Visual Analytics (VA) is "the science of analytical reasoning
facilitated by interactive visual interfaces" and aims at making complex
information structures more comprehensible, facilitating new insights,
and enabling knowledge discovery. VA methods focus on the information
discovery process, exploiting both the computational power of computers
and the human's visual information processing capabilities. It aims to
enable the exploration and the understanding of large and complex data
sets (such as available in smart city's environments) by intertwining
interactive visualization, data analysis, human-computer interaction,
and cognitive and perceptual science.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS and SKILLS
----------------------------------
- Knowledge or interest in one or more of the following: Visual
Analytics, Information Visualization, Human-Computer Interaction, Data
Mining
- Strong analytical skills and good skills in programming (preferably
Java, JavaScript, C++, or similar)
- Abilities to work as an independent and flexible researcher in
interdisciplinary teams
- Good knowledge of English in speaking and writing

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS and SKILLS
----------------------------------
- Knowledge or interest in one or more of the following: (dynamic)
network analyses and visualization, visual process mining, temporal
uncertainty, data quality, and time-oriented data
- (for international applicants) Basic proficiency in German or
willingness to learn

WE OFFER:
--------
- A creative environment in one of the most livable cities in the world
- A young and international team of researchers
- A work environment that is well equipped with the newest hardware and
software technology
- Continuing personal and professional education

======================
(c) 3D Spatialization:
======================
3D spatialization creates the link between the internet of cities
infrastructure and the actual 3D world in which a city is embedded in
order to perform advanced computation and visualization tasks. Sensors,
actuators and users are embedded in a complex 3D environment that is
constantly changing. Acquiring, modeling and visualizing this dynamic 3D
environment are the challenges we need to face using methods from Visual
Computing and Computer Graphics. 3D Spatialization aims to make a city
aware of its 3D environment, allowing it to perform spatial reasoning to
solve problems like visibility, accessibility, lighting, and energy
efficiency.
