My Information Quality Lab is seeking a student research programmer (graduate hourly/undergraduate hourly) to do network visualization in Python with NetworkX this semester.
REQUIRED background:
- Programming experience in Python
- Elementary knowledge about network analysis including nodes, edges, attribute list, edge list, and adjacency matrices
- How to read, store, and retrieve network data from a network object
- Interest in or experience with NetworkX
- Interest in or experience with visualization
PREFERRED background:
- Experience in a research or R&D environment
- Familiarity with publication and citation data
The immediate goal is to reformat dynamic network visualizations in a conference paper for a journal article to be submitted this semester (publication credit possible in addition to pay). Data for this is publicly available: https://doi.org/10.13012/B2IDB-9222782_V1
A conference paper describes the underlying ideas http://jodischneider.com/pubs/asist2020.pdf
This person will also develop utilities to be used in future network visualizations (e.g. an ongoing analysis of a similar but larger network where other aspects, e.g. co-authorship and data cleaning, will also be relevant).
