Project Title: Mapping readers and readership in Dublin: 1826-1926 

This project is funded by the Irish Research Council (IRC) as a collaboration between the School of Computer Science and the School of History at UCD. The main objective of the project is the spatio-temporal analysis of data available from Marsh’s library in Dublin to find potential patterns regarding the readership and reading in Dublin in the period 1826-1926. This postdoctoral position will be based at the school of Computer Science and supervised by Dr. Michela Bertolotto but it will involve frequent interactions with researchers at the school of History and from the Marsh’s Library. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate spatio-temporal data modelling approaches to store and query the data. The development of visual analytics techniques for visual display and investigation of the data will also form part of this research. The researcher will exploit web-based open source technology as well as freely available spatial data (eg. OpenStreetMap) for data mapping and display. Salary: €31,275 per annum

Mandatory Requirements: 

• PhD in Computer Science, GIS or a related discipline
