for one or two post-doctoral research positions on big data analytics. We are seeking candidates that have a record of scholarship under the rubric of “big data” (e.g., analysis of large datasets, data mining, machine learning, database management, pattern
classification, network analysis) who have the potential to work in an interdisciplinary team to publish in premier journals. Candidates should have excellent communication skills, and they should be able work with both academics and industry partners to engage
in various big data projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to candidates with experience working with social scientists. They should be familiar with common computer science and statistical techniques, such as SQL, R, Python, or SAS, and they should be familiar with theories and techniques on data mining, pattern
analysis, machine learning, Bayesian decision theory, parameter estimation, decision trees, game theory, structural analysis, or data sciences. The post-doctoral fellows are expected to collaborate with various faculty at the Big Data Institute, but they can
also pursue their own independent research agenda. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
