data and computational sciences, and help advise an interdisciplinary
group of graduate students.
Applicants must present evidence of outstanding accomplishments and
promise in research, as well as evidence of ability and commitment to
collaborative research. Priority will be given to applicants with
strengths in one of the following areas of research (broadly defined):
Machine Learning, Data/Network/Graph Mining, Information Retrieval,
Natural Language Processing, or Analysis of High-Dimensional Massive Data.
The anticipated start date of these positions is July or August 1, 2015.
