[Infovis] [Jobs] Visual analytics jobs in network embedding at Data Science Institute, UHasselt, Belgium

[Jan AERTS]

Hi all,

We have four positions available at the new Data Science Institute at
UHasselt in Belgium (www.uhasselt.be). Each is concerned with data
visualisation and analysis, and will build upon earlier work in
network-based dimensionality reduction and clustering (http://bit.ly/STAD-VA)
in a VA setting, within the domains of bibliometrics and text analysis, and
life sciences (multiple sclerosis and cancer).

Challenges include:
[1] definition of distance metrics between entities
[2] network comparisons
[3] scalability of network algorithms
[4] network exploration

The open positions:
- Investigation of interdisciplinarity of groups of researchers: text
analysis of literature to calculate similarity between researchers ->
research associate (MSc level) and postdoctoral researcher
- Degree-of-interest development and visualization in networks -> doctoral
student
- Network-based patient stratification in multiple sclerosis and cancer ->
doctoral student

If you're interested, please contact jan.aerts at uhasselt.be for more
information.

Kind regards,
