The document summarizes a BioVis meetup that took place at the IEEE VIS 2015 conference. It provides an agenda for the meetup which included discussions on what BioVis is, announcements, and an open discussion period. It then goes on to provide background on BioVis including its role in visualization, history at past visualization conferences, and future events. It concludes with sections on announcements, careers, and an open discussion on planning the future of the BioVis community.

Visualization PostDoc Position
We’re looking for a great PostDoc to work on a range of visualization projects, including but not lim-
ited to visualization for biology, graph visualization, big data visualization, and heterogeneous data
visualization.
Ideally, you have experience in writing papers, developing software, preferably for the web, and have
a track record of published work at VIS, EuroVis, CHI, BioVis, or similar venues.
More Information about this position can be found at http://goo.gl/GJtcca
Call for Visualization PhD Students
We are looking to admit multiple PhD Students to work on visualization topics. Funding is available.
If you’re interested in a great PhD program, like to do research, and enjoy building software apply to
our graduate program. We are a large and diverse community of visualization researchers with in-
terdisciplinary interests.

36. Postdoctoral Fellowship in Visualization for Biology at Harvard
University
The Visual Computing Group (VCG) in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
(SEAS) at Harvard University seeks motivated postdoctoral fellows with a Ph.D. in
computer science/engineering, bioinformatics, or a related field to work on varied
research projects in visual data analysis. Potential candidates should possess a strong
background in the fields of visualization and visual analytics, bioinformatics or similar
areas to conduct visualization projects applied to biological and biochemical data. In
addition to working closely with scientists, industry partners, and graduate students on
research projects, the candidate is expected to actively participate in writing grant
proposals.
More information about the VCG can be found at
http://vcg.seas.harvard.edu/.
Candidates should have a substantial publication history (preferred venues are IEEE
InfoVis, IEEE VAST, BioVis, Bioinformatics, Nature Methods, and BMC Bioinformatics), a
good standing in the research community, as well as good teamwork and
communication skills. Ideally, the candidate also has strong software development
experience, especially for web-based applications. Competitive salary and benefits are
included. The position is available immediately. For more information, please send your
CV and at least three references to Michaela Kapp at michaela@seas.harvard.edu.
