*Subject: *[uc_datasci_organizers] Postdoc opportunity at UC Davis Data
Science Initiative



Hi all,



Please distribute as appropriate this job announcement for a postdoc to
work on “academic institutional effectiveness” at the Data Science
Initiative at UC Davis. (Apologies for cross-posting!)



The scope of the position is wide and the candidate will have an integral
role in shaping the research focus. We’re considering candidates from a
wide variety of research backgrounds and encourage all who are interested
to apply. Candidates should have robust quantitative skills including
programming and data analysis, and be of a collaborative mindset. The DSI
is an exciting program and Davis a wonderful place to live. We’re currently
in the process of launching a new DSI website (http://datascience.ucdavis.
edu) so check back soon or email me with any questions.



Brief job ad: https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/service/careers/data-
science-initiative-postdoctoral-scholar/



“We’re recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join the Data Science Initiative
<http://dsi.ucdavis.edu/> (DSI) at the University of California, Davis.  A
cross-university entity, the DSI promotes and facilitates data science and
serves as a catalyst for a community of experts from varied domains to push
the envelope of interdisciplinary research.  Researchers at the DSI combine
and leverage existing knowledge to tackle complex problems, develop new
tools, and further academic and research excellence. The scholar will work
with researchers and administrators at the DSI and across UC Davis to
address novel questions relating to how different aspects of a university
function and how they might be improved.  In collaboration with the DSI
research team, the scholar will be encouraged to frame and pursue questions
for the research in and beyond bibliometrics, altmetrics and
scientometrics. Outcomes of this research are anticipated to impact
decisions made within a broad array of institutions, from teaching and
research to administration. To accomplish that goal, the scholar will have
unprecedented access to both local educational, research and administrative
data along with Elsevier databases, services and tools. The wealth of data
will make this project attractive to data scientists who want to work on
rich, diverse application areas, institutional policy and effectiveness
researchers who want to gain further expertise in cutting-edge analytics,
statistics, machine learning and data visualization, and data-driven
business/organization researchers interested in institutes of higher
education. The successful scholar will be well poised for a career within
or outside of academia. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant
discipline, experience in high-level programming, and skills in hands-on
data analysis. The ideal candidate will be a strong leader with excellent
interpersonal communication and collaborative skills. Funding is available
for up to 2 years. The position is open until filled; *application review
will begin July 24, 2017.*
