News:2015-03-18: Job: Instructor needed for Information Visualization, School of Information, San Jose State University (Fall 2015)

I am looking for an instructor for Fall 2015 who would teach a class in Information Visualization for the School of Information at San Jose State University. Our programs are delivered in a 100% asynchronous online format so location is unimportant.

Fall runs from August 20th to December 8th.

The class will be taught as part of our interdisciplinary Advanced Certificate in Big Data. The students will be in a workplace renewal grant - engineers who are retooling.

Here is information about the content. This course would focus on the state of the art in the field of information visualization. Topics may include (but are not limited to): the evolution of information visualization, the perceptual properties and design principles of information visualization, different data analysis methods using visualizations, hands-on applications of visualization software and techniques, interaction and interface design issues, and emerging trends such as social visualization and visual analytics. The ultimate goal of this course is to provide the students with a powerful tool to better process, analyze, and communicate information in the specific domain of their own interests.

We use the Canvas Learning Management system. You will have an online training class with our Director for Online Learning.

The class caps at 30. Salary for an instructor with a Ph.D degree is $6142; for a masters degree: $5149; payable at the end.

If interested please send a resume and outline how your background and experience would work well for this topic to me at hsuanwei.chen@sjsu.edu.

Thanks for considering it.

Best, Michelle
