Two doctoral research opportunities in data analytics, social media, and human
dynamics modeling at San Diego State University

Dr. Atsushi Nara and Dr. Ming-Hsiang Tsou are seeking two motivated students
to pursue doctoral degrees in Geographic Information Science in the Department
of Geography at the San Diego State University. The successful applicants will
work on the projects hosted by the new Center for Human Dynamics in the Mobile
Age (HDMA) http://humandynamics.sdsu.edu/ related to data analytics, social
media, and human dynamics modeling starting in Fall 2015.
The preferred candidates should have strong interests in Geographic
Information Science, data analytics, machine learning, agent-based modeling,
and scientific visualization applied to human dynamics in the contexts of
urban geography, social behavior, social media, disaster mitigation, public
health, and/or epidemiology. Strong quantitative skills (e.g., computer
modeling, statistics), programing experiences (e.g., C++, Java, .Net, or
python), excellent written and verbal communication skills, and ability to
work in an interdisciplinary team environment are desirable.
The salary and benefits include:
•       A teaching associate position with a salary of about $17,000/year
•       Full medical, dental, vision and life insurance for family
•       Possibility of summer and winter break salary of close to $10,000/year
•       Fully paid tuition which can range from $4,000 - $13,000/year
•       Possibility of travel awards ranging from $500/year to $1,000/year
The ideal starting date will be the 2015 fall semester. A complete application
for the graduate program in the Department of Geography is due in December 15,
2014. More information about the Department of Geography, the PhD program, and
application instructions are available at
http://geography.sdsu.edu/Programs/phd.html. 
Please send inquiries including a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae,
transcripts, GRE scores, TOEFL scores for students whose native language is
not English, and contact information for 3 references to Dr. Atsushi Nara
(anara at mail.sdsu.edu) or Dr. Ming-Hsiang Tsou (mtsou at mail.sdsu.edu). Scanned
copies or photocopies of transcripts and GRE/TOEFL scores are acceptable
initially. Please contact Dr. Nara or Dr. Tsou directly with any inquiries
about the two positions.
