Postdoc Position in Interactive Visualization and Machine Learning

Tufts University, Medford, MA


We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in the 
intersection between interactive visualization and machine learning.

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. 
(http://www.darpa.mil/program/data-driven-discovery-of-models)Â

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.

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.

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.

Note that there is no citizenship requirement for this position. 
Candidates outside of the US are encouraged to apply.Â

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.

Interested applicants should send an email to Remco Chang 
(remco@cs.tufts.edu <mailto:remco@cs.tufts.edu>) that includes a CV and 
an optional research statement.
