The following research projects are currently in need of dedicated Postdoctoral Fellows to complete their work. To be a
candidate for any of the projects, you must be a U.S. citizen and have received your PhD by the fellowship start date. These
listings are for information only. Applications must be made to the University and Principal Investigator directly.
| Status: OPEN |

| Research Area: Information diffusion and evolution in online communities |
Project Description:
The focus of this work will be on the influence of network structural characteristics on information diffusion and change. Specifically, we will be using large blog and social tagging data sets to model patterns of information diffusion, including its speed of propagation, eventual reach, and change in content.
For a sample of the flavor of research, please see:

Requirements:
The position is a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the School of Information at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The applicant should have a background in one or more of the following:
* network analysis
* data mining
* natural language processing

| Research Area: Applied Development of Active Imaging Systems |
Project Description:
This topic will investigate the science leading to novel ways to construct active image that are more stable, mechanically robust, and provide new imaging capabilities.
The integration of active optical elements can potentially reduce the size, weight, and requirements of conventional imaging systems. At the same time, active imaging systems provide increased flexibility and capability compared to their conventional counterparts. Historically, active elements such as deformable mirrors (DMs) have been used to atmospheric turbulence for astronomical imaging and liquid crystal (LC)spatial light SLMs) have been used to correct intracavity aberrations in high-power laser systems.
As active optical devices improve in dynamic range,resolution, and aperture size, applications for these devices grows tremendously. Active imaging systems have already proposed for satellites, UAVs, unattended ground sensors, and even cellphone cameras.
Technical Objectives: Novel integration of actively controlled, large aperture composite mirrors for light weight telescopes; design active control of active elements; and metrology of large aperture composite mirrors.
Requirements:
A US citizen who has recently graduated or will be graduating in December and interested in working as a Postdoc at Sandia.

| Research Area: Nanowire Photovoltaic Power Sources for Integrated Nanoelectronic Systems |
Project Description:
The focus of the research will be on the development of novel nanoscale photovoltaic building blocks based on p-type/intrinsic/n-type (p-i-n) nanowire structures, and the use of these nanoscale power generators as a key component in self-powered integrated nanosystem. The IC postdoctoral fellow will build on the nanowire science and technology pioneered in the Lieber Group at Harvard University, extending this in very significant ways with the development of the new devices for energy conversion, as well as the first multi-functional self-powered nanosystems.
Requirements:
The candidate must have received a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics, chemistry, materials science, electrical engineering or related field. Research experience in micro- and nanofabrication, electron microscopy, scanning-probe microscopies, low-noise electronic measurements, and materials synthesis is advantageous.
If you are interested in joining this research project as a Postdoctoral Fellow, please contact:
Dr. Charles M. Lieber at Harvard University following the instructions below.
Please submit CV/publication list, brief statements about (i) interest/qualifications for the position and (ii) career goals, and arrange to have 2-3 letters of reference sent to cml@cmliris.harvard.edu and kathleen@cmliris.harvard.edu.

| Research Area: News/Blog Analysis |
Project Description:
The Lydia project builds a model of people, places, and other entities through natural language processing of news sources and the statistical analysis of entity frequencies and co-locations. This model can be used to identify trends and other information flows through this entity network. Please visit http://www.textmap.org/ to see our analysis of recent news and blog postings from over 500 daily online news sources.
Lydia enables us to measure the temperature of the political, economic, and cultural world, generating a massive network where the vertices represent news entities, with links between pairs of entities with a substantive relationship between them.
Requirements:
A two-year postdoctoral position (potentially extensible to three years or
beyond) is now available to join our team. I am looking for someone with a background in one of the following:
(1) natural language processing or artificial intelligence,
(2) text mining or data mining,
(3) graph algorithms and the science of networks, or
(4) data analysis or visualization.
Applicant must be a U.S. citizen and hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Linguistics, Economics, or any related field. The start date is flexible.
The applicant will be expected to use their expertise to improve the quality of our analysis, and help manage a team of roughly ten graduate students as we shift our focus beyond technological issues to questions of what this data means and how we can best exploit it.
