*PhD, MS, and MFA positions in data visualization / large scale data 
management at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA*

Northeastern University’s College of Computer and Information Science 
(CCIS) has a growing research focus in data science, in particular *data 
visualization* and *large scale data management*.

The DATA Lab <https://db.ccis.northeastern.edu/> focuses on research 
problems in data management, data mining and machine learning with 
particular emphasis on scalability of algorithms to large data.

The Visualization Lab <https://visualization.ccis.northeastern.edu/> 
focuses on understanding human perception and cognition, as well as 
designing visualization and interaction techniques for exploring complex 
data.

Our growing labs have *eight open and funded PhD positions* focused on 
data storytelling; analytic provenance; tree and graph/network 
visualization; scalable approaches for managing uncertain, inconsistent, 
distributed and network data; cybersecurity and defense geospatial 
network visualization; visualization for healthcare; multidimensional 
data visualization; and visualization perception and cognition. We have 
a rich tradition of working on meaningful problems in collaboration with 
civic, business, and global partners. Our warm, supportive community of 
researchers eagerly seeks women and minority students to promote diversity.

We are part of a strong team of 63 CCIS faculty with several related 
groups in areas such as network science, personal health informatics, 
cybersecurity, information retrieval, probabilistic AI, applied data 
science, distributed machine learning, NLP, and theory. The college is 
expanding rapidly and is now highly ranked among top computer science 
schools in terms of publications at selective venues.

Students interested in graduate studies at Northeastern on data science 
and visualization have several degree programs to choose from:

  * PhD in Computer Science
