Hello list, I'm sorry for cross posting.
-------------- Pulse Lab Jakarta is a joint programme between the United Nations and Government of Indonesia through UN Global Pulse (http://unglobalpulse.org/) and the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas). Our mission is to harness big data for development and humanitarian action and an internship at our lab can offer you a distinguished, unique opportunity to help tackle development challenges with the public sector, applying your skills around data analytics, modeling and visualization. As a data innovation lab, the Research team at Pulse Lab Jakarta, together with our colleagues in Pulse Lab New York and Pulse Lab Kampala, are exploring various opportunities of applying big data in different sectors, such as food security, public health, urban dynamics and economic well-being, with different types of big data, such as social media, online news, remote sensing, and online search keywords. This year, in particular, we hope to test other methodologies and approaches by using other data sources, e.g., financial transactions and mobility data. We are looking for talented PhD students who have already published papers at top-tier conferences and journals in a broad area of data science, including (but not limited to) social media analysis, user behavior modeling, statistical model, informational retrieval, NLP, predictive analytics, complex network analysis, geospatial analysis, image processing, and data visualization. Starting dates and internship are negotiable depending on the selected candidates' availability (preferably, two to three months, at least). Applications for the internship should be received by *April 24th, 2015**. * Please submit an application with your CV and motivation letter (clearly highlighting the speciality, previous research, and/or which sector you want to work in, if any) to Jong Gun Lee, the Data Scientist and Research Lead at Pulse Lab Jakarta, [email protected]. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. We will invite shortlisted candidates for interviews. -------------- I'd be very grateful if you could pass this on to any potential candidates. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Yulis Research Associate Pulse Lab Jakarta
