mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">:
This is a tenure-track, academic-year position. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a leading, extramurally funded research program in the area of IoT and ecological analytics, such as the development of IoT components and architecture, analytical
and pedagogical approaches involving IoT and big data, and ecological analytics or related analytical procedures. The ideal candidate will develop novel methods and tools to integrate diverse data across a variety of ecological domains, IT platforms, and analytical
frameworks, such as those found in high-performance computing or big-data environments. Analytical efforts focusing on data fusion, visualization, forecast modeling, or data mining are all desirable areas of scholarship. Interdisciplinary collaboration across
the department’s diverse natural resources faculty will be essential. Duties of the IoT position include developing upper division and/or graduate courses in IoT and ecological analytics, as well as providing lecture modules on IoT/data analytics where appropriate
in undergraduate courses currently taught to departmental majors. Depending on preferences of the successful candidate, a minority joint appointment in another academic department may be available. Relationships with Purdue research centers and initiatives
are also encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
