Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting)
At the University of Edinburgh's Vishub group, we’re looking for a postdoc / phd intern for a project to help doctors and careworkers discussing treatment pathways for (long-term) Covid patients. Start is as soon as possible for 3 months full-time (or part-time longer). Ideally the candidates lives in the UK, as otherwise visa are required which will take too long :(
The project runs with colleagues from University of Edinburgh and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh / NHS.
The rough idea is to create visual summary sheets of patient data (historic data, time in hospital, types of treatments, medication, … ) and possible decisions. These sheets should be concise and are used in group decision making. The final outcome could be a website. Interaction possible if part of the design. We could draw inspiration from infographics, data comics, cheat-sheets, dashboards...
The data is around but we need to better understand which data is most important, which information can be represented visually, how to create a concise representation.
Ideal candidate:
- background in information design / data visualization / UI design
- web programming
- HCI
If you are interested, please get in touch, and good luck with any VIS papers!
