One way I have been able to build my skills and get better as a data analyst is by participating in past and current data challenges and competitions.
You get to learn and relearn by practicing.
Here is a list of data challenges you can participate in 👇👇👇
"Multiple Ph.D. Positions Open in Computational Social Science, Network Science, and Human-computer Interaction
========
I am looking to recruit several Ph.D. students to start in Spring 2024 or Fall 2024 in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida. The positions will have full tuition and stipend support, and travel funds will be available for attending research conferences.
Broadly, the projects will focus on building technology that (1) helps people develop socio-cognitive soft skills (e.g., storytelling, negotiation) and (2) elevates the collective performances of teams in terms of creativity, problem-solving, and intelligence. Additionally, we will develop interventions to counter critical elements of concern in online social media, such as belief rigidity and polarization, by bringing cognitive, social, psychological, computer, and network sciences together. The research will draw on qualitative and quantitative methods from computational social science, network science, machine/deep learning (particularly NLP), human-computer interaction, and affective computing. Please visit https://t.co/K73W1hQ3Bg for more information.
Naturally, strong candidates must have an interest in conducting interdisciplinary research. Involvement in extra-curricular activities (e.g., debate, art & design, public speaking, writing, or voluntary fieldwork) is a plus. Underrepresented students are encouraged to apply.
I am keen to learn what excites you as a researcher, what kind of work you'd like to do, and how I can help you achieve your goals. If you are interested, please email me your CV, transcript(s), writing sample(s), and a few sentences on your motivation and goals to [email protected].
The deadline for application is September 1 for Spring'24 and January 15 for Fall'24. For further details on admission requirements, please visit : https://t.co/5l1gTrcI7V
Please feel free to pass this message along!"-Prof. Abdul Baten.
