The University of Glasgow is seeking to make several appointments associated with the new Urban Big Data Centre funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Big Data Network Phase 2.

The centre’s work will focus on developing Urban Big Data management and linkage solutions, and research on methods to address urban challenges relating to social justice, dynamic resource management, lifelong learning, urban engagement and environmental sustainability in cities. The project will be led by the University of Glasgow, with the Universities of Edinburgh, Cambridge, Reading, Bristol and Illinois-Chicago as partners.

One of these posts is located within the School of Education in association with PASCAL's work on Learning Cities. More details of the centre are available at http://urbanbigdatacentre.co.uk, and applications for the the posts made at http://www.glasgow.ac.uk/jobs
