Dear SHINErs,

There  are number of faculty positions at Rice which will be of interest 
to some members of the solar heliospheric community.   Rice has 
announced an initiative in Data Sciences with the creation of  a number 
of a faculty positions at all ranks across the university.   In 
particular, the list of topics of interest includes high-volume and/or 
high-velocity data intensive science.   Researchersdeveloping data 
analytic tools such as machine learning techniques or other data science 
methodologies that are used in solar physics and astronomy but can be 
broadly implemented across disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply.

The position announcement is at 
https://datascience.rice.edu/faculty-position-announcement

The high-volume, high-velocity component is described as follows:

/Researchers in many disciplines today are using petabytes or exabytes 
of data that may hold the promise of important new discoveries. While 
these researchers face many of the same issues found in other 
data-driven efforts, the use of truly-large datasets and datasets that 
arrive at high-velocity introduces new challenges in terms of both the 
underlying computer systems, hardware and software, and the analytical 
techniques applied to the data. These challenges are fundamentally 
different from those seen at smaller scales./

/The initiative actively seeks data scientists who will work on problems 
related to high-velocity, data-intensive science, including but not 
limited to new hardware and software data-architectures to deal with 
high-volume, high-velocity data collection, curation and analysis; 
highly parallel analytics; and managing and processing distributed or 
federated data./
