PhD Position I’m recruiting a PhD student in Data Science to specialize in remote sensing, ecological/environmental/climate science & applications. We are a new and growing program (a master’s degree is not required) soon to be located in W&M's new school of Computing, Data Sciences & Physics. Student backgrounds do not have to be in CompSci/stats, preferably ecology/environmental management along with familiarity/experience in programming/ spatial data manipulation or geospatial analysis. Please reach out to me to discuss research interests well before the Feb 2025 deadline: https://lnkd.in/eX5kSHXKOur program boasts a rigorous curriculum that places emphasis on analyzing large datasets, often in applied domains using advanced machine learning techniques. Students will delve into courses covering foundational mathematical concepts and computational techniques crucial for defining, implementing, and validating models across various disciplines.Successful candidates will ideally have practical experience working with large datasets in applied contexts. While Python serves as the primary language, our curriculum also incorporates alternative languages such as R, Scala, or compiled languages in specific courses and laboratories. William & Mary is the oldest public research university located in Williamsburg, VA just a few hours south of Washington, DC.…more
