Georgia State University ( GSU ) is experiencing a major expansion. In the CS department,

there are sixteen tenure-track faculty members right now. The department will recruit

about seven new faculty members in recent years. The department’s aual research

budget exceeds two million dollars. Six faculty members have won the prestigious NSF

CAREER Awards. GSU is close to Georgia Institute of Technology. There are many great

opportunities for us to collaborate with the researchers at Georgia Tech. GSU is located

in Downtown Atlanta. Atlanta is the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States.

Students at GSU have a good balance between school and personal life. Atlanta is in the

southeast of America and has pleasant climate.

Big data related position is the hottest job in America. High tech companies, such as

Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon, recruit lots of big-data related employees. In

academia, researchers from diverse disciplines including medicine, biology, business,

biostatistics, and epidemiology need to find collaborators from Computer Science to help

them process and analyze large volume data. Thisis the reason why many universities are

recruiting big data related faculty members. Data Science is a newly emerging discipline.

Where there is data, there is a need for data scientists.
