With carefully curated proceedings becoming available in digital form in many countries, new research opportunities arise at an unprecedented longitudinal scale, and across different nations, cultures, and political representation systems. The ExPoSe project focuses on search and exploration of the parliamentary proceedings and related linked data, with three interrelated sub-projects. The chosen candidate for this position will study exploratory search tools that support researchers and their emerging digital research methods, in collaboration with researchers in parliamentary history and digital humanities. The two other sub-projects are: exploratory linked data (in collaboration with data journalists and media studies) and a living lab for exploratory political (re)search. Details about the project are on . * Requirements Applicants must have completed a research oriented master's degree in a relevant field by the appointment date, and must have strong and demonstrable skills in: - information retrieval, in particular statistical language modeling and semantic search; - exploratory search, information seeking behavior, interaction, and UI/UX design; and - solid programming skills are a requirement. Research experience, or a track record of project based work, and demonstrable interest in the domain of application are a clear plus. * Application Applications should include: i) a letter of motivation, ii) a detailed curriculum vitae, iii) a research proposal (max 1 page), and iv) two letters of reference. Please submit your application before October 1st, 2013 to . Details are on . ________________________________________ Asis-l mailing list Asis-l at asis.org http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/asis-l ----- No virus found in this message.

The colloquium itself will begin with dinner Saturday night February 15, 2014 and continue all day Sunday February 16, 2014. All submissions must be received by the chairs by 5:00pm (17:00) Pacific Time on October 7, 2013. Submissions received after this date will not be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email. We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform CSCW, including anthropology, sociology, computer science, cognitive science, organizational studies, and related fields. We are particularly interested in applications from institutions and groups that have not traditionally been well-represented at past CSCW conferences. Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established direction of research relevant to CSCW, but whose research would benefit from guidance provided by peers and senior colleagues at the Doctoral Colloquium. Preference will be given to students who have a defined topic and program of work e.g., who have proposed their topics and are within 2 years of graduation within a 5 year program or are half way through a 3 (or 4) year program. The Colloquium committee will select approximately 15 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Colloquium, to be followed by extensive group discussion. Participants will also present their research in an interactive poster session during the main technical program of the conference. Applicants should submit the following items by email to _dc2014 at cscw.acm.org_ with the subject line "CSCW2014 Colloquium Submission." All items below should be collated into one PDF file named YOURNAME_CSCWDC2014.pdf (substitute your full name where it reads YOURNAME): * A FOUR-page overview of your doctoral research that describes your research question, work in progress, and expected contributions. This overview should also include (1) a paragraph that articulates what you hope to gain from attending the CSCW Doctoral Colloquium, and (2) an abstract of no more than 100 words. Your overview will be published in the ACM Digital Library and distributed to all attendees as part of the Conference Extended Abstracts. Please submit your overview in the Extended Abstracts Format. * A short (2-3 paragraph) biographical sketch on another page. * An up-to-date curriculum vitae. * Optionally, one publication that you feel best illustrates your progress in your research. * An email letter from your supervisor sent to _dc2014 at cscw.acm.org_ indicating that they support your application to the colloquium and that they agree that your research is at an appropriate stage for participation. These letters should also make reference to how you might benefit from the Doctoral Colloquium and how they expect that you might benefit the other students in this group experience. The email should have "CSCW Doctoral Colloquium: " + YOUR NAME in the subject header.

It still preserves a very old network of narrow and charming city streets, as well as a Roman forum dating back to the first century AD. In addition, the Zadar region is one of unparalleled natural beauty that includes two national parks. On the Adriatic Sea is the Kornati National Park , an unusual and colorful group of some 100 small islands. The National Park Paklenica is also close by, for those who enjoy exploring a more mountainous terrain. Croatia is a great tourist destination of unspoiled beauty. -- *********************************************************************** Tefko Saracevic, Ph.D. Professor II Emeritus School of Communication & Information Rutgers University New Brunswick, NJ 08901 U.S.A.
