[Geo4All] Ph.D. Assistantship in Geospatial Analytics for Smart and Connected Communities at North Carolina State University

[Helena Mitasova]

Dear all,

you might have seen my previous post about the new PhD in Geospatial
Analytics, being offered at North Carolina State University
https://cnr.ncsu.edu/geospatial/academics/phd-in-geospatial-analytics/


One of the graduate assistanship positions is focused on engagement
of communities in storm water management in innovative ways that include
spatially distributed simulations and serious games. The official position
is described below and I would like to encourage potential candidates with
experience working in open source geospatial environment to apply. Feel
free to email me directly if you have any questions or see the contact
information
below,

best regards,  Helena


The Meentemeyer and Mitasova Labs at North Carolina State University seek a
creative, motivated Ph.D. student with strong computational skills to join
a team designing a publicly available, multi-user, online serious game
called TomorrowNow. The project will engage citizens and decision makers in
collaborative scenarios of urbanization and stormwater management as part
of a new grant from the NSF Smart and Connected Communities program. The
position will begin Fall 2018 and is funded for four years at $25,000/year,
plus benefits and tuition support, through the cutting-edge Ph.D. program
in Geospatial Analytics offered by NC State’s Center for Geospatial
Analytics (geospatial.ncsu.edu). The student will be encouraged to develop
research questions tailored to their unique interests and career goals.

The Center for Geospatial Analytics is an internationally recognized
collaborative hub for interdisciplinary data scientists advancing novel
understanding of spatial phenomena and applying new knowledge to grand
challenges. Students in the Ph.D. program receive multidisciplinary
advising and the opportunity to work with over twenty faculty fellows with
diverse expertise from nearly a dozen departments across NC State. Students
also engage in experiential learning through an off-campus professional
internship.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the
position is filled. To apply, complete the application at
grad.ncsu.edu/apply. Students with talents in programming and quantitative
methods in geography, geomatics, informatics, and computational modeling
are strongly encouraged to apply.

For more information about the position, contact Dr. Ross Meentemeyer (
rkmeente at ncsu.edu) and include a copy of your CV. Additional details about
the Ph.D. program in Geospatial Analytics and complete application
instructions are available at go.ncsu.edu/geospatial-phd. Interested
students are also encouraged to contact Rachel Kasten, Graduate Services
Coordinator (rachelkasten at ncsu.edu or 919-515-2800), with questions about
the program or to explore additional opportunities.
