(<a href="http://www.darpa.mil/program/data-driven-discovery-of-models" target="_blank">http://www.darpa.mil/program/<wbr>data-driven-discovery-of-<wbr>models</a>) </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Our D3M team consists of Tufts (Remco Chang), Wisconsin (Michael Gleicher), and Georgia Tech (John Stasko and Alex Endert). The postdoc researcher will be primarily located at Tufts University (which is located in the Boston area) and will work closely with the teams at Wisconsin and Georgia Tech. Some travel to DC (where DARPA is located) and to Wisconsin and Georgia Tech is expected.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The ideal candidate will have a strong background in developing interactive visualization systems and some knowledge of machine learning. Further, the candidate is expected to possess leadership and management skills (to coordinate between the three universities) and strong communication skills.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Expected starting date is May 2017 but is negotiable. The D3M program is scheduled for 4 years and the length of the position is negotiable but subject to continued funding.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Note that there is no citizenship requirement for this position. Candidates outside of the US are encouraged to apply. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Tufts University is located in the Boston area -- it is two stops away on the subway to Harvard and two additional stops away from MIT. Boston is quickly becoming a hub for visualization research including but not limited to research activities at Harvard, MIT, Google, Tufts, Northeastern, WPI, Brown, UMass, UMass Dartmouth, Smith, and New Hampshire. The postdoc researcher is encouraged to take advantage of the Boston area by collaborating and building relationships with these nearby universities.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Interested applicants should send an email to Remco Chang (<a href="mailto:remco@cs.tufts.edu" target="_blank">remco@cs.tufts.edu</a>) that includes a CV and an optional research statement.</div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br>Remco<br><br>--<br>Remco Chang<br>Associate Professor<br>Department of Computer Science<br>Tufts University<br><a href="http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~remco" target="_blank">http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~remco</a><br>(office) 617-627-3681<br>(lab) 617-627-6514</div></div></div></div>
