I am delighted to announce our paper "Unboxing Cluster Heatmaps" has been accepted to the 6th Symposium on Biological Data Visualization. This work was a fantastic collaboration between the Visualization and Graphics Lab at the University of San Francisco and the Pollard Group at the Gladstone Institutes and University of California San Francisco. Congratulations to everyone involved!
We are thrilled to bring back the Data Visualization Speaker Series for Spring 2016! We have two fantastic speakers for this semester:

Happy New Year!
We will hold our weekly lab meetings every Friday from 11:45am – 12:45pm in room LS 307 for Spring 2016. Our first meeting will be January 29, 2016.
All students interested in visualization are welcome to attend these meetings!
The Visualization and Graphics Lab is looking to hire one research assistant for the Spring 2016 semester.
The duties for the research assistant will be as follows:
Students should expect to work a minimum of 10 hours per week. If the research is successful, students will be invited to be a co-author on related publications.
Current undergraduate (or graduate) students may apply for the position, but must already be proficient in object-oriented programming. Most undergraduate CS majors, CS minors, and computational Data Science majors that have passed both CS 212 and CS 245, or graduates that have passed CS 601 will qualify, but others can apply too.
Strong applicants will also have some familiarity with data visualization. This includes students that take visualization-focused sections of CS 384/694 Research Seminar, CS 398/498/698 Directed Reading and Research, and CS 386/686 Special Topics in CS. It also includes students that take CS 360 Data Visualization. We are looking for students who are willing to learn Processing and p5 and who would ideally have created basic data visualizations (bar charts, scatterplots, etc.) in Processing/p5 before they begin the research assistant position.
Applicants should also be interested in continuing the research project beyond a single semester, either in a paid position or as a directed study opportunity. Applicants must be detail-oriented self-motivated independent workers with excellent written and oral communication skills.
Please send your resume by January 19th in PDF form to apjoshi@cs.usfca.edu to be considered for the position.
I am looking for a TA for CS 360 Data Visualization next semester. Details are below.
Experience with data visualization and/or Javascript is highly recommended, but not required. Excellent written and spoken English skill required. You must also be available to attend lectures MWF 2:15pm to 3:20pm.
You will be expected to attend lecture and assist with any interactive exercises. Every week, you will be asked to (1) verify the functionality of weekly homework assignments, and (2) verify that students completed their pass/fail participation assignments. The grading will be based on functionality checklists and does not require visualization expertise, but it cannot be automated.
To apply, please email sjengle@cs.usfca.edu describing your qualifications for the position by December 18, 2015. Please include your GPA for related CS courses.
