Dear Casperites, The Physics Department of New Jersey Institute of Technology is searching for an Assistant Professor in the area of "Big Data." Since many new radio instruments excel in producing lots of data, there are likely some in your groups or at your institutions who are doing front-line research in this general area. Please see the ad below, and pass this along to all who might be interested. The area is interpreted broadly, and might involve experts in any kind of astronomical data, or indeed any of the other focus areas mentioned below. One motivation is the large datasets expected from our new radio facility, the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array.
