[Job opening] PhD and Master positions in GIScience and GeoAI

Dr. Liping Yang is offering two (1 Ph.D. and 1 Master) funded, full-time Graduate Assistantships in Geospatial Data Science and Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI). Particular topics of interest include

• • Novel methods for analyzing structured and unstructured geospatial data (such as text and images),
  • Information and image retrieval for geographic and historical data,
  • Exploratory search user interfaces powered by computer vision
    and machine learning,
  • Artificial intelligence for geographic knowledge discovery,
  • Spatial representation and reasoning.

Enthusiastic candidates with interests related to these topics are highly encouraged to apply; working experience with at least one programming language (Python, Java, C/C++, JavaScript etc.) is a prerequisite for the positions, but the most important quality is a desire to do creative original research at the intersection of GIScience, computer science, and mathematics.

Students working with Dr. Liping Yang, will have great opportunities for summer interns and/or graduate assistantships at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL); after graduation (with proper qualification), can be recommended to work at LANL.
