*PhD position: Visual Analytics in Data-driven Journalism*
University of Vienna

We invite applicants for a PhD position in Visual Analytics/Human-Computer
Interaction within the Visualization and Data Analysis Group at the
University of Vienna. The successful applicant will join a larger
interdisciplinary research group with backgrounds in computing, design, and
journalism.

Like many other organizations, publishing houses and the news industry are
facing tremendous challenges making sense of the ever-growing amount of
information. A trend towards data-centric journalism aiming to deal with
these challenges has recently become popular under the term “Data-driven
Journalism” and is vividly discussed in discourses about the future of
journalism.

The successful applicant will explore how methods of Visual Analytics can
support Data-driven Journalism. This will include working with a diverse
range of users to better understand how data is currently used in
journalism, and to design and evaluate novel Visual Analytics solutions for
Data-driven Journalism.

Review of applications will begin on November 21, 2014, and continue until
the position is filled.

Applicants should submit a CV, a two-page motivation statement, two
references, copies of university certificates, and a transcript to Monika
