***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Dear all, We are currently looking for a postdoc or MSc holder with network science experience and a data science profile, ideally with some experience with graph databases and/or statistical modelling of networks. The deadline is 6 January 2021. Details and the application form can be found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__hrorganiser.essex.ac.uk_tlive-5Fwebrecruitment_wrd_run_ETREC107GF.open-3FVACANCY-5FID-3D889430NCvB-26WVID-3D9918109NEm-26LANG-3DUSA&d=DwIGaQ&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=yQQsvTNAnbvDXGM4nDrXAje4pr0qHX2qIOcCQtJ5k3w&m=ODtN2KMvxcKhhiqRsD-F_WGwpcVlG3Oe-D4SLHPDb7Q&s=qvKZhSzSdBGYf_5Cvsz8aoJqWDNla3EGi6HTNbyZ0_o&e= or via https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.philipleifeld.com_job-2Dopportunities&d=DwIGaQ&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=yQQsvTNAnbvDXGM4nDrXAje4pr0qHX2qIOcCQtJ5k3w&m=ODtN2KMvxcKhhiqRsD-F_WGwpcVlG3Oe-D4SLHPDb7Q&s=uvFWKV3HdHlT4qc8SKkBcsYsaoSy7ON90n_kMcXF6lU&e= . The candidate will be supervised by me and a colleague from the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at Essex for a duration of 33 months. The candidate will be affiliated with the Department of Government at the University of Essex. However, the place of work will be the headquarters of Preqin, a leading finance intelligence firm based in central London. Preqin will provide joint supervision. The project is a knowledge transfer partnership (KTP) and is funded jointly by Innovate UK and Preqin. Preqin maintains a large database of managers, firms, and deals in the alternative assets industry (primarily hedge funds). The data scientist we are recruiting will analyse this dataset using network science tools (exploratory and statistical/inferential network analysis) and related techniques. Joint peer-reviewed publications with the academic supervisors are planned. This position is great for an academic who wants to gain some industry experience, possibly with a view to work in the private sector later, for somebody who already has industry experience, or for somebody who wants to stay in academia but would like to work on an interesting network science dataset. We tried to recruit for this position earlier this year and have now raised the salary to £34,000-60,000 depending on experience. Please email me with any questions you may have. Best regards, Philip -- Philip Leifeld Professor, Department of Government University of Essex https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.philipleifeld.com&d=DwIGaQ&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=yQQsvTNAnbvDXGM4nDrXAje4pr0qHX2qIOcCQtJ5k3w&m=ODtN2KMvxcKhhiqRsD-F_WGwpcVlG3Oe-D4SLHPDb7Q&s=Q38hQPtnHOQOtCI496MdohObUPy3Go6cTKKsxTDvjdQ&e= _____________________________________________________________________ SOCNET is a service of INSNA, the professional association for social network researchers (http://www.insna.org).
