AUTHORS ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MATERIAL.







The OAK Group, Department of Computer Science, The University of Sheffield, is offering a fully funded 3 year PhD Research Studentship in Visual Contextualisation of Multidimensional Data

Application closing date is 15 November 2013.
Start date is 1 January 2014 or soon thereafter but not after March 1 2014

Aim
The aim of this studentship is to research new methodologies for contextualising multidimensional data to support decision-making in complex situations. The studentship will involve working on the externally funded WeSenseIt (www.wesenseit.eu) research project, supported by the European Commission as part of FP7. WeSenseIt is a multi-site, multi-disciplinary project involving researchers and industrial partners in web technologies, environment and sensing, as well as social media monitoring. The project aims to develop a new concept of citizen observatories of water where authorities and citizens cooperate to monitor rivers: the project is providing the social and technological methodology for the observatories, via methods for – among other things – monitoring of social media and the creation of novel low cost sensors that can be used and even built by the citizens themselves.
The student will be designing, developing and evaluating innovative solutions to enable contextual analysis of data focusing especially on the spatial and temporal dimensions and on methods to allow quick visual comparison with historic data and/or similar events. The student will need to focus on methods for interactive data analysis, allowing direct manipulation of data and visualisations.

Requirements
Candidates should have a First Class Honours/Distinction in Computer Science or Engineering (e.g. MComp, MEng or MSc) and have excellent computer programming skills (e.g. Java, Javascript, PHP, HTML, Python). Experience with human computer interaction and information visualisation is essential, and detailed knowledge of Web Technologies (in particular in the use of social media API) and experience in using data analysis tools and techniques (i.e. APIs for information extraction, sentiment analysis etc.) would be highly desirable. A background in user evaluation and statistical analysis of data would also be desirable, but is not strictly necessary.

Stipend and Fees
The grant will cover all study fees for EU and UK nationals and a living stipend for three years. The stipend will provide £13290 p.a.. The project will also provide travel funds for the student to attend international conferences. Non-EU citizens can apply but the bursary will not cover the additional non-EU fees (about £9,000 a year).

Tenure-track Faculty Position in Human-Computer Interaction
Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech

The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech
(http://www.cs.vt.edu)
invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position,
at the rank of Assistant Professor, from candidates with
expertise in human-computer interaction (HCI). The
department is especially interested in sub-areas of HCI
involving human interaction with big data or advanced
technologies, such as large-scale data visualization and
human-robot interaction, but candidates from all areas of
HCI are encouraged to apply. Candidates should have a PhD
in Computer Science or related discipline at the time of
appointment; a strong record of scholarship in human-computer
interaction and interdisciplinary areas; demonstrated ability
to contribute to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate
levels in HCI and related subjects; sensitivity to issues of
diversity in the campus community; and the skills to establish
and grow a multidisciplinary research group. Selected
candidates are expected to travel occasionally to attend
professional conferences/meetings.

CS faculty have been involved in HCI research since the
early days of the field, and lead the interdisciplinary
Center for Human-Computer Interaction hci.vt.edu, a
university-wide effort that brings together faculty with
strengths in multi-sensory interactive communication,
ecologies of displays and devices, social/collaborative
computing, and human aspects of data/information/knowledge.
Within CS, there are rich opportunities for collaboration
in data mining/machine learning, parallel and distributed
computing, computational biology and bioinformatics,
information retrieval, software engineering, cyber security,
cyber arts, and CS education. Beyond the department, HCI
faculty members collaborate with researchers in design and
the arts (the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology),
in engineering and science (the Institute for Critical
Technology and Applied Science), and in education, business,
and liberal arts.

The Department of Computer Science has 36 research oriented
tenure-track faculty and 11 research faculty. There are
a total 12 NSF/DOE CAREER award winners in the department.
Research expenditures during FY2013 were $11.7 million;
total research funding at the beginning of FY2014 was
$34 million. BS, MS, and PhD degrees are offered, with
an enrollment of over 550 undergraduate majors (12% women)
and over 200 PhD/MS students. In 2010, CS@VT was ranked
5th in the country in recruiting quality of CS undergrads
by the Wall Street Journal. The department is in the
College of Engineering, whose undergraduate program was
ranked 6th and graduate program was ranked 12th among
public engineering schools in 2013 by US News and World
Report. Other research centers associated with the
department include the new interdisciplinary Discovery

PhD Position in Effective & Efficient Information Retrieval at the University of Glasgow


The University of Glasgow is looking for a versatile, highly motivated PhD candidate to address research into effective and efficient information retrieval. This position is initially funded for 12 months, with the possibility of extension subject to performance. It is open to applicants from the UK and EU only, until the position has been filled.

* Job Description
While many information retrieval techniques can increase effectiveness, many do so at the cost of degraded efficiency. Instead, a search engine may make an appropriate choice to decide what to deploy for a particular query or load. In this research project, we expect a successful PhD candidate to research efficient and effective search techniques, deploy and test these within the Terrier information retrieval platform, within in environments such as Web search and social search.

* Requirements
Applicants must have completed a strong bachelor's degree (research oriented master's degree preferred) in a relevant field by the appointment date, and must have strong and demonstrable skills and knowledge across:
- information retrieval, including social and Web search;
- knowledge of search engine architectures, including learning to rank and techniques for efficient search;
- solid programming skills (particularly Java) are a requirement.

Research experience, or a track record of project based work, and demonstrable interest in the domain are a clear plus.

*Environment
The University of Glasgow offers an unrivalled research environment for PhD students undertaking work in the field of large-scale text mining and retrieval, with access to modern datasets and Big Data computing facilities. The University hosts one of the oldest IR groups in Europe, with over 30 research-active members. 


* Application?
Applications should include: i) a detailed curriculum vitae, ii) a research proposal (max 3 pages), and iii) preferably two letters of reference. Please submit applications to Craig Macdonald or Iadh Ounis, c.f. firstname.lastname@glasgow.ac.uk
