[Cyverse.Nappn] Visiting Researcher Positions at Mississippi State University

[Moorhead, Robert]

The Geosystems Research Institute (GRI) at Mississippi State University (MSU) is seeking visiting professors to assist MSU in advancing agricultural research through high performance computing (HPC). We are seeking international research / thought leaders. Visits of periods of 3 months to 2 years are envisioned. Research projects and collaboration with USDA/ARS scientists focus on multidisciplinary projects involving big data, data science, uncrewed aerial systems, spatial epidemiology, disease ecology, molecular epidemiology, landscape analysis, agroecology, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and bioinformatics.  Visiting professors will have access to high performance computing (HPC) for complex data analysis, modeling and machine learning. Computational tools need to run optimally in an HPC environment, which requires specialized development. All of this needs to be developed and put into place with training for proper analysis. Clear examples are development and use of new statistical and image analysis tools for georeferenced agricultural data related to agricultural operations, utilization of blockchain technology for agricultural data integrity and management, integrated analysis of agricultural systems at multiple scales spanning cells, organisms, communities and interactions with the environment.
