Assistant​/Associate Professor in Visual Analytics

Assistant/Associate Professor in Visual Analytics

Shape how humans understand data and turn complexity into insight, while educating the next generation of data and AI experts at TU Delft.

The Computer Graphics and Visualization group at TU Delft has an opening for an Assistant/Associate Professor in Visual Analytics. We seek a researcher with an ambitious research agenda in visual analytics and interactive data exploration, spanning areas such as human-AI interaction, explainable AI, decision support, and data-driven discovery. Our group develops computational methods and theory for generating, analyzing, and interacting with visual data.

Our research spans computer graphics, visualization, rendering, modeling, interaction, simulation, game technology, and immersive environments, with strong connections to artificial intelligence, data science, AR/VR, 3D computer vision, and high-performance computing. We foster a multidisciplinary research environment that combines fundamental advances with impactful applications across a wide range of domains.

We particularly welcome candidates whose research advances visual analytics for the interactive exploration, analysis, and interpretation of complex data, including approaches that integrate human-centered artificial intelligence to support understanding and decision-making. Working within a supportive department that values scientific excellence, creativity, and complementary expertise, you will collaborate across disciplines, contribute to leading international venues, and help shape an ambitious research agenda.

A key part of the role is developing an independent and internationally visible research programme in visual analytics. You will identify emerging scientific opportunities, translate them into innovative research projects, acquire and lead externally funded research, and build collaborations with academic, public-sector, and industry partners. Through your work, you will contribute to scientific advances and address challenges in domains where human understanding of complex data is essential, such as healthcare, engineering, sustainability, science, and public policy.

You will work with a highly talented and international student population, including students from our MSc programmes in Computer Science and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Technology, and our BSc programme in Computer Science and Engineering. You will contribute to teaching and developing courses in visual analytics and related topics, creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment that inspires students from diverse backgrounds.

You will supervise and mentor BSc, MSc, and PhD students, supporting their development into independent researchers and highly skilled professionals. As your research programme grows, you will have the opportunity to build and lead your own research team. TU Delft offers excellent opportunities for professional development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and access to state-of-the-art research facilities. Through your research, teaching, and leadership, you will help shape the future of visual analytics while educating the next generation of experts in data science, artificial intelligence, and visual computing.
