applicants for a Postdoctoral Scholar position. The position
will be a fixed-term appointment of 12 months with the potential
for renewal. The successful applicant will join an
interdisciplinary team that brings together perspectives from
GIScience, information science, cognitive science, and computer
science to achieve advances in geo-Big Data methods and their
application in contexts that range from social and environmental
science, through public health and education; to support for
risk assessment, disaster management and humanitarian relief.
Preference will be given to candidates with research interests
linked to space-time dynamics, spatial language and text
analytics, social data analytics, and/or choro-phronesis. <br>
<br>
The position will involve participation in one or more ongoing
GIScience research projects as well as participation in
proposals for new projects. To meet existing project needs and
to complement current faculty, staff, and graduate assistant
research efforts, we are looking for an individual with
substantive interests that complement those of current faculty.
The ideal candidate will have expertise in at least two domains
listed and the ability to interact with an interdisciplinary
research team that, collectively, is focused on challenges
within and across these domains.<br>
