Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom University of Glasgow Full time
Job Purpose

To make a significant contribution to the growth of research in the Geospatial Data Science Group, this research associate/fellow will work with Professor Ana Basiri and the team to explore geospatial data using various methods and models.

This post will have the opportunity to work on newly awarded research projects, including "Missing Data as Useful Data," where new forms of data are considered as useful data to be integrated/triangulated with traditional data to provide a reliable, timely, and updated understanding of fast-changing real-world phenomena.

This will be examined by nationally important and strategic applications, including managing under-reported crime, better social care and protection of society, inclusive city planning, and dynamic census using administrative and alternative data.

Main Duties and Responsibilities
  1. Investigate the balance of high-quality survey data and large sample-sized "new forms of data" to deal with bias and under-representation issues of AI from a geographic perspective, ultimately developing an inclusive and explainable geo-AI.
  2. Develop a statistical framework to consider "new forms of data" as useful data to be integrated/triangulated with traditional data.
  3. Collaborate with the Geospatial Data Science team at the University of Glasgow and project partners, including Ordnance Survey GB, Google, Microsoft Research, Uber, Meta, and the Alan Turing Institute, to support the co-design and development of inclusive and responsible technologies.
  4. Take a leading role in the planning and conduct of assigned research individually and/or jointly in accordance with project deliverables and project/group/School/College research strategy.
  5. Enhance and maintain your research profile and reputation and that of the University of Glasgow and research team, including contributing to publications of international quality in high-profile refereed journals, enhancing research impact in terms of economic/societal benefit, and gathering indicators of esteem.
  6. Presentation of work at international and national conferences, at internal and external seminars, colloquia, and workshops to develop and enhance our research profile.
  7. Supporting and contributing to FAIR principles, i.e., findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research in geospatial data science within the school and the college by, for example, making data and code repositories available and reproducible, writing blogs, drafting technical/progress reports and papers as appropriate.
  8. Collaborate with colleagues and participate in team/group meetings/seminars/workshops across the research team and the University and wider community.
  9. Take the lead on the organisation, supervision, mentoring, and training of undergraduate and/or postgraduate students and less experienced members of the project team to ensure their effective development.
  10. Contribute to outreach activities of the University of Glasgow and carry out modest teaching or supervision activities and associated admin as assigned by the Principal Investigator.
  11. Be responsible for safety management related to the organisation and running of Laboratory and/or Experimental techniques, equipment, and processes as appropriate.
  12. Engage in personal, professional, and career development to enhance both specialist and transferable skills in accordance with desired career trajectory.
  13. Take a leading role in the identification of potential funding sources and to assist in the development of proposals to secure funding from internal and external bodies to support future research.
  14. Undertake any other duties of equivalent standing as assigned by the PI.
