the area of visual analytics.

We are hiring researchers who specialize in the visualization of spatial
and spatio-temporal data and tools for visual analytics, exploratory data
analysis, problem solving, and decision making. The successful candidate
will develop novel interactive systems for visual analysis and
communication that leverage a combination of compelling visualization and
data analysis tools in order to gain actionable intelligence and insights
from large data collections. Research will be conducted in the context of
industry data and challenges, such as transportation, energy, social media
analytics and effective natural resource management. In these domains,
real-time, interactive, and incremental visualization tools are of special
interest.

The ideal candidate will be familiar with visualization programming
environments such as IBM ILOG Visualization Software, Processing, HTML5,
dojo, Java, Adobe Flex, and a basic knowledge of data mining and data
analytics techniques.

The successful research candidate must have demonstrated ability to define
research plans, carry out leading research, and publish research results
through professional journals, academic conferences, and patents. As a
researcher you will be expected to organize challenging problems, develop
new solutions, and work with business & development teams to ensure these
solutions have a significant impact.

The Smarter Cities Technology Centre is part of IBM Research and was
created to take on the challenges of our increasingly urbanized world. We
