The candidates will also have opportunities to propose collaborative projects of their own related to the research area. Ideal candidates will have a proven track record that demonstrates high quality independent research in either information visualization or groupware/ubicomp. Candidates should be willing to commit to a two year post-doc. The positions will be located in the Interactions Laboratory, a rich community of students, researchers and faculty that specialize in many aspects of Human Computer Interaction and Information Visualization. Calgary is 45 minutes by car from the Canadian Rockies, a spectacular part of the world. These positions are made available through their recent award of an iCORE Industrial Chair, sponsored by iCORE and Smart Technologies, Inc. *To apply* Please send a resume and a description of your research interests to Robin Arseneault: rarsenea(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca If you will be attending CHI, please let Robin know by email as we may schedule an interview there.
