</span><span
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri',sans-serif">The
function of this position is to provide research and
development support to a number of
geospatially-focused data-intensive projects that
that focus on transportation and mobility and extend
into other disciplines. The Urban Computing group is
highly multi-disciplinary and the engagement is
expected to expose the candidate to a variety of
scientific domains such as urban weather and
climate, building energy modeling, situational
awareness, and population dynamics while building up
from core computing application areas that include
big-data, machine learning, graph analytics,
geovisualization, high-performance computing, map
reduce and distributed computing, as well as GPGPU
computing. The candidate must be comfortable working
as part of a tightly integrated team and must be
capable of supporting multiple projects
simultaneously.</span><span
