** FUNDED PHD POSITION AT TU VIENNA **

---------------------------------------------------------------

Funded PhD position within the ViSual ANalytics for Event-based 
Diffusion on Networks (SANE) project @ TU Wien f/m/d (30-40h)

We are hiring a talented PhD candidate in an international project on 
the visual analytics of complex diffusion processes over temporal 
networks. You will work in the context of SANE, a project held by TU 
Vienna (Austria), the University of Cologne (Germany) and the University 
of Newcastle (United Kingdom). This project arrangement gives you unique 
career opportunities, including student exchanges abroad, regular 
meetings with researchers from the other institutions participating to 
the project.

We are looking for a PhD candidate to work from the TU Wien, at the 
Institute of Visual Computing and Human-Centered Technology, in the 
Research Unit of Visual Analytics. We offer a position as project 
assistant (prae-doc) limited to 3 years for 30 hours/week (that can 
beextended to 40). Gross annual (monthly) salary of Euro 43,650 
(2,464.80) according to FWF regulations.

In this position, you will begin your doctoral journey studying problems 
related to the topic of event-based(or “temporal”) network 
visualization. In Event-based networks, the time coordinates where the 
nodes and the edges are “active” are an explicit element of the 
representation, differently from traditional timeslicing where a time 
structure is imposed over the input data. You will apply these concepts 
to the problem of Information Diffusion. Information Diffusion studies 
how “information” flows and spreads through an underlying network, and 
has been used to model, simulate, and predict natural and human-made 
phenomena in countless different domains (e.g., pathogen spread, malware 
outbreak in computer networks, viral marketing, etc.). However, little 
research has been done on this problem within the context of visualization.
