Subject: PhD, MS, and MFA positions in data visualization / large scale
data management at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA



===========================================================



*PhD, MS, and MFA positions in data visualization / large scale data
management at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA*



Northeastern University’s College of Computer and Information Science
(CCIS) has a growing research focus in data science, in particular *data
visualization* and *large scale data management*.



The DATA Lab <https://db.ccis.northeastern.edu/> focuses on research
problems in data management, data mining and machine learning with
particular emphasis on scalability of algorithms to large data.



The Visualization Lab <https://visualization.ccis.northeastern.edu/>
focuses on understanding human perception and cognition, as well as
designing visualization and interaction techniques for exploring complex
data.



Our growing labs have *eight open and funded PhD positions* focused on data
storytelling; analytic provenance; tree and graph/network visualization;
scalable approaches for managing uncertain, inconsistent, distributed and
network data; cybersecurity and defense geospatial network visualization;
visualization for healthcare; multidimensional data visualization; and
visualization perception and cognition. We have a rich tradition of working
on meaningful problems in collaboration with civic, business, and global
partners. Our warm, supportive community of researchers eagerly seeks women
and minority students to promote diversity.



We are part of a strong team of 63 CCIS faculty with several related groups
in areas such as network science, personal health informatics,
cybersecurity, information retrieval, probabilistic AI, applied data
science, distributed machine learning, NLP, and theory. The college is
expanding rapidly and is now highly ranked among top computer science
schools in terms of publications at selective venues.

Students interested in graduate studies at Northeastern on data science and
visualization have several degree programs to choose from:



   - PhD in Computer Science
