[ecrea] 34 month mobile app visualisation postdoc

    34 month Post-Doctoral Researcher (Mobile App Visualisation)
    Maynooth University, Ireland

https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/human-resources/vacancies/post-doctoral-researcher-visualisation-national-centre-geocomputation-ncg

The Postdoctoral Researcher will contribute as part of an 
interdisciplinary team to the SFI-funded Building City Dashboards 
project, undertaking fundamental and applied research on creating 
effective city dashboards.

The researcher will work on Work Package 2.2 Investigating scalar issues 
in visualisation.
At present, most city dashboards are optimized to 
function best on a standard display screen. They will display on a 
smartphone or tablet, but in a way that is suboptimal in terms of 
legibility and coherence. This task will investigate scalar issues in 
how data are effectively visualised across different media and to use 
the resultant information to develop appropriate methods for delivering 
dashboard content on mobile devices (the key platforms through which 
people access city information on the move). The method will consist of 
building and iteratively user testing and developing mobile apps for the 
Dublin Dashboard. The outputs will be specific apps for citizens to use, 
but also a design guide for app developers producing city-focused apps.

The successful applicant will be expected to work effectively as part of 
a team, maintain active liaison with stakeholders and collaborators, 
make a significant contribution to the dissemination of project outputs 
(incl. workshops, publications, web site, etc.), contribute to the 
development of PhD students participating in the project.

This postdoc will provide high level input into researching and 
developing the multi­modal dashboard interfaces/installations. They will 
have strong visualisation and project management skills as well as 
experience working in app development. They will work within a team on 
Visualisation and multi-modal interaction problems.
