A scholarship or scholarship top-up is being offered for a PhD
research candidate who will focus on data analysis and visualisation
of epidemiological agent-based simulations. The candidate will need
experience in applying existing visualisation techniques in 2 and 3D
and basic user-interface design principles to simulation
design. Experience with computer graphics programming in C or C++ and
OpenGL under Unix-based operating systems is required. Experience with
statistics or data analysis would be helpful; the ability to learn
such matters essential.

The research will extend basic visualisation techniques and adapt them
to the specifics of epidemiological simulation. In addition, it will
require the development of new, visually-guided ways to operate the
simulation software, understand its behaviour and communicate its
results. A willingness to experiment with sonification techniques to
assist in data-interpretation and simulation operation would be of
benefit.

If you are interested, please provide a cv and cover letter by 21 June,
2011.

Regards, Kevin
