this already. There was some problem with the mailing list so

<div style="font-size:12.8px">We are seeking a postdoctoral
researcher with expertise in the intersection between
interactive visualization and machine learning.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">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"
target="_blank">http://www.darpa.mil/program/<wbr>data-driven-discovery-of-<wbr>models</a>) </div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">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 style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">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 style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">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 style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Note that there is no citizenship
requirement for this position. Candidates outside of the US
are encouraged to apply. </div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">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 style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Interested applicants should send
an email to Remco Chang (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:remco@cs.tufts.edu" target="_blank">remco@cs.tufts.edu</a>)
that includes a CV and an optional research statement.</div>
