Many of our colleagues may be unaware of a growing focus on 
visualization research at Northeastern University 
<http://www.northeastern.edu/> in Boston, MA. I am writing to you to 
share some of the exciting opportunities for graduate research and study 
we have available. Please share with any interested students.

The College of Computer and Information Science (CCIS) 
<http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/> has made two recent hires, Profs. 
Cody Dunne <https://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/people/cody-dunne/> and 
Michelle Borkin <http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/borkin/>, to lead 
visualization research and support two new degree programs in Data 
Science <http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/research-area/data-science/>. 
They join an already strong team of 62 tenured and tenure-track CCIS 
faculty, and the College plans to continue hiring in both Data Science 
<http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/open-positions/> and Network Science 
<http://www.networkscienceinstitute.org/jobs/position-available-assistant-associatefull-professor-in-the-network-science-institute>. 
Northeastern is also now ranked 15^th <http://csrankings.org/> among top 
computer science schools in terms of publications at selective venues.

Beyond CCIS, visualization work is being conducted across campus by 
faculty in Art and Design, Journalism, Politics, Engineering, and the 
Library. The interdisciplinary NUVis Visualization Consortium 
<http://nuvis.northeastern.edu/> ties these researchers together, and 
helps foster cross-cutting studies. We have a rich tradition of working 
on meaningful problems in collaboration with civic, business, and global 
partners.

At Northeastern, students interested in graduate studies on 
visualization have several degree programs to choose from:

  * PhD in Computer Science
    <http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/academics/phd/phd-apply/> (due
    Jan. 1 for Fall 2017 admission, rolling for Spring 2018 admission)
  * PhD in Personal Health Informatics
    <http://phi.ccs.neu.edu/phd/admissions/> (due Jan. 20 for Fall 2017
    admission)
  * PhD in Network Science
    <http://www.networkscienceinstitute.org/phd#admissions> (due Feb. 1
    for Fall 2017 admission)
  * MS in Computer Science
    <http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/program/computer-science-ms/> (due
    May 1 for Fall 2017 admission)
  * MS in Data Science
    <http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/program/ms-in-data-science/> (due
    May 1 for Fall 2017 admission)
  * MFA in Information Design and Visualization
    <http://www.northeastern.edu/camd/artdesign/academic-programs/mfa-in-information-design-and-visualization/>
    (due Feb. 1 for Fall 2017 admission)

Our warm supportive community of researchers eagerly seeks women and 
minority students to promote diversity.

Profs. Dunne and Borkin currently have three open and funded PhD 
positions focused on data storytelling, analytic provenance, tree and 
graph/network visualization, visualization for healthcare, 
multidimensional data visualization, and visualization perception and 
cognition. We are particularly interested in students with strong 
programming proficiency, especially in JavaScript, D3, and WebGL. 
Students should also have strong English speaking and writing skills.

If you are interested in applying to work with them, please email Profs. 
Dunne (c.dunne@northeastern.edu <mailto:c.dunne@northeastern.edu>) or 
Borkin (m.borkin@northeastern.edu <mailto:m.borkin@northeastern.edu>) 
with your materials and submit a CS application 
<http://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/academics/phd/phd-apply/> (preferred), 
or alternatively PHI application 
<http://phi.ccs.neu.edu/phd/admissions/>. Either Fall 2017 or Spring 
2018 admission are available.
