Purdue University has identified "Big Data" as a major thrust for inter-
disciplinary research and education. Several faculty positions are available
in enabling technologies as well as in domain sciences that deal with the use
and management of digital data. The new hires will join a strong faculty group
engaged in this thrust area and will have a unique opportunity to help shape
Purdue's vision and research/education agenda in "Big Data".

  
Responsibilities: Candidates for tenure and tenure-track positions at the
Assistant/Associate professor level will be considered.
Strong interest in inter-disciplinary activities is
