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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alan Murray Professor, Department of Geography University of California at Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA Email: amurray(a)ucsb.edu <mailto:amurray@ucsb.edu> Web page: http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/~amurray/ <http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/%7Eamurray/> Phone: 1-805-893-3663 Editor, International Regional Science Review (http://irx.sagepub.com) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
