USC’s Department of Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis is hiring! We’re looking for an environmental planner, broadly construed, at the Assistant/Associate Professor level. I am on the search committee and happy to answer any questions. You can apply online.
Happy new year! In the spring semester I’ll be teaching two new courses: Big Data for Cities and Advanced Spatial Analysis of Urban Systems. The former serves as a sort of gateway course to Northeastern’s urban informatics master’s program, introducing students to urban theories and scientific methods of analyzing urban data. The latter introduces advanced students to a computational workflow of spatial analysis and statistics with Python, PostGIS, and other open-source tools. I’ll be creating my lectures as Jupyter notebooks and will share a GitHub link soon when they’re all together.
