A faculty position announcement, from Alan Murray:
***********
UCSB Geography Spatial Data Science faculty position
The University of California, Santa Barbara Department of Geography
invites applications for a tenure-track position in spatial data science
at the rank of Assistant Professor. The department seeks applicants with
core research interests in inferential and computational analysis of
spatial data, data mining, and machine learning in support of any
substantive domain in the field of Geography or allied fields that rely
on spatiotemporal data. The Department of Geography has strengths in
three broadly defined areas: human geography; earth system science; and
modeling, measurement, and computation. This position is most strongly
associated with the third of these areas, but interest in one or both of
the other systematic areas is also desirable. We provide opportunities
for interactions with many other departments and research units on the
campus, including the Center for Spatial Studies, various labs (Space
and Time for Knowledge Organization, GeoTrans, GeoOpt), the Broom
Demography Center, and the Center for Information Technology & Society.
Preference will be given to candidates who have grounding in
computational data analysis equivalent to, or exceeding, an M.S. in
statistics, computer science, geoinformatics, or related fields, and
will have a proven track record of collaboration with diverse
disciplinary teams of scientists.
To apply, please log in to https://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/apply/JPF01091 to
submit your cover letter, curriculum vitae, statements of research and
teaching interests, and names of three referees with their contact
information. A Ph.D in an appropriate field is required by the date of
appointment. Applications completed by November 15, 2017 will receive
priority consideration, but the position will remain open until filled.
The effective start date of the position is July 1, 2018 or later.
The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute
to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through
research, teaching, and service.
The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration without
regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status,
or any other characteristic protected by law.

Call for Papers
Computers & Operations Research
Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Hub Location"
Guest Editors: Sibel A. Alumur, James F. Campbell
Hub location problems arise in various applications in transportation and telecommunication network design. Application areas include network design for express shipment delivery, less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload motor carriers, airline passenger and freight transportation, railway networks, liner shipping, urban public transportation networks, and computer and telecommunications networks.
For this special issue of Computers & Operations Research, we will specifically solicit revised and extended versions of hub location papers presented at the 14th International Symposium of the Locational Decisions (ISOLDE) conference in Toronto and Huntsville, Canada in July 2017. In addition, we eagerly welcome the submission of high quality, visionary papers that are not associated with this conference.
We hope the special issue will document the state-of-the-art in hub location research and provide a framework for future research that moves the field forward by better solving larger problems with more realistic assumptions, and by leveraging the best research in related disciplines. Researchers from all disciplines are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their high quality work on the topic.
Submission Guidelines:
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) http://ees.elsevier.com/cor. Corresponding author must select "SI: Hub Location" as the Article Type to make sure that the paper will be considered for the special issue.
Important Dates:
The deadline for submission to the special issue is November 1, 2017. The plan is to publish the special issue in early 2019.
