Hello,

One project position is open at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Bombay for the visualization of weather data using open source tools. The project will involve creating tools for the visualization of atmospheric weather data using Mayavi. Mayavi is an open source, interactive, 3D visualization tool written in Python. More information on Mayavi is available:

https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/MayaVi

In addition to directly working with Mayavi and its core development team, the project will require working with and contributing to several important open source projects like VTK (http://www.vtk.org), Python (http://www.python.org), Traits and the Envisage application framework (http://code.enthought.com).

Mayavi2 is packaged as part of Debian (testing) and many people all over the world are using it. Mayavi2 was also featured on the front page of the Python Magazine in December

Requirements -------------

* knowledge of C and object oriented programming with C++. * passion for 3D graphics, visualization, software engineering and technology. * passion for open source software. * knowledge of Python is a plus.

You will need to work at IIT Bombay. If you are from outside Mumbai accommodation will be provided on campus. Local Mumbai residents can choose to stay at home.

The project ends in April 2009. The pay will be reasonable but depends on how good you are. It might not match industry rates, but you will be on the IITB campus. More details on the project are available here:
