Funded PhD Opportunity in Conservation Biology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Applications are invited for a NSF-funded PhD graduate assistantship in conservation biology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Research will focus on geospatial analysis and modeling of species distributions under climate and land-use change.
The ideal candidate will possess a Master’s degree by the starting date
and prior research experience and/or demonstrated competency in spatial
analysis using GIS applications. Applicants should have strong quantitative
skills and an interest in spatial ecological and species distribution modeling.
Experience with R and remote sensing image processing are desirable, but
not necessary. Strong writing skills, the ability to communicate effectively, and
the desire to work in a team are also essential.
The assistantship includes a stipend of $21,000 per annum, fringe
benefits and tuition waiver. The university is an AA/EEO employer and encourages
applications from women and minorities.
To apply, please email the following to Jennifer Fraterrigo (jmf@illinois.edu):

Funded PhD Opportunity on issues of Mobile Mapping
The Faculty of Sciences, research institute Expertise Centre for Digital Media of Hasselt University seeks a (m/f)
|
PhD student computer science, specialisation 'human-computer interaction'
|
Background
http://www.uhasselt.be/edm |
Task description
Recent controversies surrounding mobile maps have highlighted the importance of cartography to human-computer interaction (HCI) and information visualization on mobile devices. However, despite the prominent role of “map apps”, they have not yet been robustly examined with a lens informed by the decades of relevant research in the field of cartography. Moreover, principles and best practices established cartography have largely not been integrated with the work of “GeoHCI” and Geo UX researchers and practitioners. Drawing on the well-established literature of academic cartography and research in mobile HCI, you will then identify, and implement, and evaluate potential solutions. |
Profile
|
Diploma
Candidates should have a master degree in computer science, a civil engineer degree in computer science or equivalent. Students, who expect to complete these studies during the summer, are also invited to apply. |

PhD Scholarship available “Historic GIS”
within the Cluster of
Excellence:
“Asia and
Europe in a Global Context”
Within the Cluster of Excellence
“Asia and Europe in a Global Context” at Heidelberg University http://www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de/en/
we offer a PhD scholarship within an interdisciplinary project involving historians
and the GIScience Research Group. The overall aim is to investigate ships as
floating transcultural spaces.
The PhD candidate shall develop a
Web-based Historic GIS that provides spatial analysis functionalities for
detecting spatiotemporal clusters in the unique data source Lloyd’s List. This
is providing historic information on global shipping on a daily base.
Geocoding and analysing the
spatiotemporal Lloyd’s Lists data on the movement of people, goods and
information onboard of nineteenth-centuryships vividly brings to life the
migrational, commercial and, thus, cultural circuits and networks that powered
contemporary processes of globalization.
Therefore relevant GIS
functionality and spatio-temporal cluster analyses shallbe made available in a
Web platform usable for historic research.
The scholarship is 1200
Euro per month plus funding for travel and other costs. The PhD shall start in
March 2013.
Requirements -
MSc in Geography, Geoinformatics,
Computer Science or related area – Background in one or more of the following
areas: Web-GIS, SDI, Spatial Analysis, Geocomputation, Historic GIS - Demonstrated
strong programming experience - Excellent English skills (written and oral),
Excellent communication & organizational skills.
Applications
shall be directed to Ms. Bettina
Knorr (bettina.knorr@geog.uni-heidelberg.de , http://giscience.uni-hd.de) until January 7th 2013 in digital form. The application shall include a
detailed CV including grades, technical expertise, letters of reference and
list of publications.
The selection of the
scholarship holder will be based on quality of the. Heidelberg University is an
equal opportunity employer. In case of equality of qualification and suitability
of applicants, the applications made by female researchers will be given
preferential consideration. Handicapped applicants will be treated preferentially
if equally qualified. The graduate college aims at providing best possibilities
for combining research and family.
