Dear Ecologers,
A new graduate student is sought to work on a recently funded NSF
project "Mapping Cyberspace to Realspace: Visualizing and Understanding
the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Global Diffusion of Ideas through the
Semantic Web" (http://mappingideas.sdsu.edu/).
The M.S. student will start in the fall (spring likely) semester of
2012. Background in quantitative analysis and modeling, GIS/computer
science, or related fields would be preferred. The student is expected
to work on space-time analysis models, characterizing the dynamics of a
particular set of ideas spreading over the Internet and uncovering
potential factors that cause "susceptibility" to and "immunity" from
such ideas.
Please go to http://geography.sdsu.edu/Programs/programs.html for
application procedures. If you have questions about this position,
please contact Dr. An at l...@mail.sdsu.edu
<mailto:%20...@mail.sdsu.edu>.The following materials could be helpful:
your most recent Curriculum Vita, transcripts, GRE Scores, TOEFL Scores
(for international students only), and research statement.
Funding opportunities also exist for students who want to pursue
doctoral degree in related fields (e.g., landscape ecology, space-time
analysis and modeling, human-environment interaction, and
geocomputation). Please visit Dr. An's group webpage at
http://complexity.sdsu.edu/ for related information.
Best regards,
Li
