Four PhD Studentships in Visual Analytics for Criminal Intelligence Analysis are available in the Interaction Design Centre (http://idc.cs.mdx.ac.uk/), School of Science and Technology, at the Middlesex University, London (http://www.mdx.ac.uk/). Successful candidates will carry out their research with a team of international collaborators in context of an European Commission funded FP7 project. No prior knowledge in criminal intelligence is required, but an excellent background in data visualisation, human-computer interaction, data analytics algorithm, or research ethics is essential. Specific areas of research are: * Visual Analytics for Geo-Spatial Temporal Re-Construction of Situations in Criminal Intelligence Analysis [details<http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Visual%20Analytics%20for%20Geo-Spatial.pdf>: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Visual Analytics for Geo-Spatial.pdf]. * Visual Analytics for Insight Generation in Criminal Intelligence Analysis [details<http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Visual%20Analytics%20for%20Insight%20Generation.pdf>: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Visual Analytics for Insight Generation.pdf]. * Interactive Feature Selection and Projection of High-Dimensional Data for Criminal Intelligence Analysis [details<http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Interactive%20Feature%20Selection.pdf>: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Interactive Feature Selection.pdf]. * Ethically Informed Design for Addressing Legal and Privacy Issues in Criminal Intelligence Analysis [details<http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Ethically%20Informed%20Design.pdf>: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Ethically Informed Design.pdf].
