Best wishes, ___________________________________________ Liem Tran, Ph.D. Professor, Geography Department Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering (Adjunct) University of Tennessee a Knoxville Tel: 865-974-6034; Fax: 865-974-6025 Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ___________________________________________ From: <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> on behalf of Caglar Koylu <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Reply-To: "[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 at 4:54 PM To: Liem Tran <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: [UCGIS] PhD and MS positions in GIScience/Geoinformatics at the University of Iowa Dear All, Department of Geographical and Sustainability Sciences<https://clas.uiowa.edu/geography/graduate-program>, and the interdisciplinary graduate program in Geoinformatics<https://informatics.uiowa.edu/study-opportunities/graduate-program/geoinformatics> at the University of Iowa are accepting applications for MS/PhD or PhD degrees starting from Fall 2018. Graduate teaching and research fellowships, and assistantships will be available for these positions. I am particularly interested in recruiting students with research interests in areas such as: · Spatial network analysis (e.g., network measures, community detection, spatial interaction modeling, diffusion models) · Spatial data mining (e.g., clustering, association rule mining, classification, machine learning, and deep learning for object classification) · Geovisual analytics and human computer interaction (e.g., interactive cartography, flow mapping, coordinated views, utility and usability evaluation) · Big data analytics for social media and networking applications (e.g., natural language processing, topic modeling, sentiment analysis) · High performance computing, Hadoop, and big data storage systems (MongoDB) · Application areas such as human migration and mobility, geographically-embedded social networks (e.g., interpersonal communication, family tree), patient mobility, human communication, transportation, and energy networks; movement and pass networks in sports (e.g., soccer, basketball); analysis of social media data In addition to the above research interests, students should have, or be interested in developing, ability in: · Programming in a high level language such as Java, C++, or Python; · Statistical computing software such as R or Matlab · GIS Software such as ArcGIS or QGIS. · Database management system software such as Postgresql, PostGIS, and MongoDB · English Proficiency (TOEFL) The application deadline is 01 Jan, 2018. Candidates should contact [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> indicating their interest in one of the programs along with their research interests and CV. Competitive students will be invited for a Skype interview. Upon admittance you will be a member of theGeo-Social Lab<http://geo-social.com/>, which is home to research projects aimed at developing innovative computational and visualization tools to better understand and analyze massive and complex geo-social networks. The Geo-Social Lab<http://geo-social.com/> is located within the brand new research facility at the Informatics Initiative<https://informatics.uiowa.edu/> which is equipped with cutting edge research infrastructure such as the Visualization Wall, lab computers and meeting rooms, and prioritized access to High Performance Computing (HPC) and Hadoop clusters.
