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./
