<div>Postdoc Position in Interactive Visualization and Machine
Learning</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tufts University, Medford, MA</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in
the intersection between interactive visualization and machine
learning.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The postdoc position is funded by the DARPA D3M program
with the goal of developing visualization systems that enable
users to effectively utilize sophisticated machine learning
techniques without having knowledge of the mathematics and
statistics behind the techniques. (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.darpa.mil/program/data-driven-discovery-of-models">http://www.darpa.mil/program/data-driven-discovery-of-models</a>) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our D3M team consists of Tufts (Remco Chang), Wisconsin
(Michael Gleicher), and Georgia Tech (John Stasko and Alex
Endert). The postdoc researcher will be primarily located at
Tufts University (which is located in the Boston area) and
will work closely with the teams at Wisconsin and Georgia
Tech. Some travel to DC (where DARPA is located) and to
Wisconsin and Georgia Tech is expected.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The ideal candidate will have a strong background in
developing interactive visualization systems and some
knowledge of machine learning. Further, the candidate is
expected to possess leadership and management skills (to
coordinate between the three universities) and strong
communication skills.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Expected starting date is May 2017 but is negotiable. The
D3M program is scheduled for 4 years and the length of the
position is negotiable but subject to continued funding.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note that there is no citizenship requirement for this
position. Candidates outside of the US are encouraged to
apply. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tufts University is located in the Boston area -- it is two
stops away on the subway to Harvard and two additional stops
away from MIT. Boston is quickly becoming a hub for
visualization research including but not limited to research
activities at Harvard, MIT, Google, Tufts, Northeastern, WPI,
Brown, UMass, UMass Dartmouth, Smith, and New Hampshire. The
postdoc researcher is encouraged to take advantage of the
Boston area by collaborating and building relationships with
these nearby universities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Interested applicants should send an email to Remco Chang
(<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:remco@cs.tufts.edu">remco@cs.tufts.edu</a>)
that includes a CV and an optional research statement.</div>
