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@uhasselt.be for more information.
