MRC-funded PhD studentship at the University of Glasgow
E-Science Visualisation for Functional Genomics and Drug Target Discovery
This studentship will develop new metaphors for large-scale data
visualisation in functional genomics. The student will identify the best
ways of presenting and interacting with data, and define a software
architecture to support the construction of enhanced scientific
visualisations. At the same time, algorithms will be developed to enable
flexible data navigation, based on data reduction techniques. The work would
first involve an in-depth user study of current tools, a comparison with
visualisation research in other domains, and the development of a deeper
understanding of the system features that enhance biomedical research. It
would then propose a classification of known visualisation techniques in
this area and draw conclusions about the most effective visualisations. The
student would then focus on data reduction algorithms used in the selected
types of visualisations, and produce a design and a prototype a complex
application combining various types of visualisation, which uses the GRID
infrastructure. This system would be tested with the users, and evaluated
with regard to functionality and usability.
This studentship can only be offered to those who fulfill the official UK
residence requirements. The stipend will be £10,500 in the first year, and
is expected to increase in the following years.
More general information on the Department of Computing Science is available
at www.dcs.gla.ac.uk, and information on the Bioinformatics Research Centre
is at www.brc.dcs.gla.ac.uk.
The studentship will start on 1st October 2004, and the deadline for
applications is 31st May 2004.
