MIT Senseable City Lab’s Post

By harnessing the power of existing urban fleets 🚍🚦🚊 in #Amsterdam, we propose a 'drive-by' sensing model, helping unlock new insights into urban challenges—namely, collecting data with improved spatio-temporal granularity—and empowering cities worldwide to make informed decisions through #bigdata. ⏰ Clocking Emissions is part of Senseable's City Scanner initiative, focusing on #urbansensing. #urbansolutions #optimizingcities #urbanfleets

SENSEABLE CITY DUBAI LAB OPPORTUNITY—JOIN US!   The Senseable City Dubai Lab (SCD) was established in partnership with the Dubai Future Foundation. Drawing upon the experience of the MIT Senseable City Lab, SCD explores the relationship between cities, people, and technologies, and investigates how the ubiquity of digital devices and telecommunication networks are impacting urban living.   We are seeking to appoint exceptional postdocs and research fellows with experience and a demonstrable record of academic research and design on cities. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter with a brief statement of research interests, and a cv/resume including references here: https://lnkd.in/gkgdeF6s   All fellows will be based in Dubai, and are required to have a Master’s (for fellow positions) or a PhD (for postdoc positions) in related fields to environmental sciences, engineering, urban studies, physics, mathematics, computer science, computational sociology or a related field. Experience in network science and complex system research given particular attention. Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment, problem solving skills and high creativity are very welcome.   Apply today and join us in our mission to create more diverse and inclusive cities.
