The Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) intends to appoint a
Research Fellow in Data Intensive Science from 1st November 2015, or
as soon as possible thereafter. The post is to enhance and complement
the programme of world-class research at the ICG and high-quality
teaching at the University of Portsmouth.

Data Intensive Science (or “Big Data”) has been recognised
by the UK government as one of the eight great technologies and is the
focus of research funding. This fellow is to build capacity in this area
of research and innovation, drawing on a variety of data rich subjects at
the University of Portsmouth beyond Astrophysics and Cosmology e.g.
Geographical Information Systems, Intelligent Data Systems,
Crowdsourcing, Health Informatics, Operational Research,
Bioinformatics and Decision Support Systems.

The post is based in the ICG recognised for its world-leading research
in large complex data (e.g. SDSS, DES, LSST and SKA), but with the aim
of collaboration with other departments and/or business to generate
new research/innovation opportunities.

The successful candidate will have an excellent research record,
complementing and extending the existing research interests and
expertise in cosmology and astrophysics. They will be expected to
develop new opportunities for research and innovation, and to attract
external funding. Holders of personal research fellowships are
encouraged to apply.
