[R-sig-Geo] Seeking Spatial Statistics Specialist--Visiting/Sabbatical

[Kristen Tsolis]

CORE Lab
U.S. Naval Post Graduate School


Position Description:

The candidate for this position will have a Ph.D. in a social science 
discipline that would make extensive use of geospatial statistics (such 
as Geography, Regional Planning, Political Science/Policy Analysis, 
etc.). The ideal candidate would be engaged in the following:

Analysis of datasets that combine geospatial, and non-geospatial 
components (esp. socio-economic-political datasets at the sub-national 
level).

Analysis of non-homogenous datasets and provide input in the 
homogenization process (mush-ups)

Use of commercial geographic information systems (ArcGIS, or similar), 
as well as expert use of open-source applications for the analysis of 
spatial data (GeoDa, STARS, R-geo, etc). Software expertise for remote 
sensing (such as Erdas, Imagine, or ENVI) is desirable.

Support for and/or supervise the design and implementation of spatial 
and non-spatial data collection and processing:
o       identifying and coding spatial variables related to the research;
o       merging/joining a-spatial data/spreadsheets with spatial data;
o       formatting data to prepare for geospatial analysis;

Advise on data analysis system design and architecture (schema design 
and flowcharting).

Provide support for and/or supervise the design and implementation of 
spatial and non-spatial data collection and processing.
