I think people have gone both directions with MS or PhD and have been successful in industry and academics. For example, Ben Fry heads his own firm Fathom Information Design and Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas at Google. They're PhDs. On the other hand, Lee Byron at Facebook has a bachelors and Anita Lillie, who's a data visualization designer at LinkedIn has an MS. So it's a mixed bag. 2. It'll vary by employer. In my experience, they're most impressed with what you can do more than the education level, but obviously a PhD says something about that. 3. Academics in general is about research, so you're looking for new things, and then testing to see if they work. The hope is that results can then be applied to the real world. The IBM VCL, for example, is research-based, but they try to apply that to the real world (otherwise IBM wouldn't fund that sort of thing). Jeffrey Heer is in academics, but I see his work pop in the real world, too.

I am having a dilemma. I'm 3 years into a ~6-year PhD and I finally figured out that I want to do data visualization for Quantified Self related apps (e.g., apps that monitor what you do every day). Generally, making data viz for companies don't require a PhD or research experience, yet I really want to research how to represent data in ways that can get people to change their behavior (i.e., exercise more, be more sustainable) so that I can make more effective data visualizations. The end goal is still to make data visualizations, but with a better grounding of what makes them effective. I may never do research again for the rest of my life, and that's fine with me. But I've been told that many research contributions don't have a place in the "real world," or that the only way to generate meaningful knowledge about visualizations is to research it. Essentially, that getting a PhD is only good for an academic or research career, and making progress in the industry require different skills and focus. Is it possible to do both? I'm wondering several things now: 1. Has anyone applied their PhD knowledge to an industry job? How did it work out? 2. Does working in data viz mean that there is more middle ground between the two contributions? More importantly, will my future employers admire that I have done the research and have grounding for the way I approach my work? Will they care at all, or do they just want someone with lots of data viz experience? 3. What other pieces am I missing here? Thanks for your time! I really appreciate any kind of advice regarding this.

A huge part of this film will be illustrating his data. Some examples are : 1. Immigration patterns in the US since 1880 2. The changing population of Houston to a minority majority city (70% under age 30 non-anglo, 70% over 60 are anglo). 3. Educational attainment by race 4. Changing attitudes towards urban living. We are looking for a freelance visualization artist that can create animated visualization of his data to be included in this film. The clips will need to be rendered at 1920X1080 preferably and some may require timing to a voice over. There will be about 10-12 clips that will range from 12-40 seconds. If you are interested please contact me at j o h n at j o h n c a r r i t h e r s d o t c o m with your rates (hourly or daily) and links to your portfolio.
