In some cases users will see the rank ordering of which counties get more doses change with your choices as well. For example:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAs of January 18, 2020, Maryland had been allocated 417,925 first doses, or enough to cover approximately 9 percent of its estimated adult population of 4,677,166. Selecting Prince George\u2019s County, a suburb of Washington, D.C. that has the second largest population in Maryland, illustrates the teams\u2019 points about equity in allocation:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EIf vaccines were distributed in proportion to the county\u2019s adult population, Prince George\u2019s would be allocated 63,051 doses (~15.1 percent of the state\u2019s total doses).\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIf instead vaccines were distributed in proportion to the county\u2019s Phase 1a population, Prince George\u2019s would be allocated just 60,494 doses (~14.5 percent of the state\u2019s total doses). Compared to allocating by the adult population, using the Phase 1a population would decrease the county\u2019s allotment by 2,556 doses (or -4.1 percent).\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIf doses were distributed in proportion to the county\u2019s Phase 1a population weighted by SVI, Prince George\u2019s would be allocated 72,468 doses (~17.3 percent of the state\u2019s total doses). Compared to allocating by just Phase 1a population, adding SVI as a weight would increase the county\u2019s allotment by 11,974 doses (or 19.8 percent).\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIf a modified SVI measure that excludes race and\/or ethnicity is used to weight the Phase 1a population then Prince George\u2019s would be allotted only 61,830 doses (~14.8 percent of the state\u2019s total doses). Compared to Phase 1a weighted by SVI, excluding the race and or ethnicity factor would decrease the county\u2019s allotment by 10,638 doses (or 14.7 percent) due to Prince George\u2019s larger proportion of non-white non-Hispanic people \u2014\u00a0and returns its allocation to a level comparable with Phase 1a population alone (60,494 doses).\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe map illustrates that no scenario is neutral. Each prioritization reflects an explicit or implicit valuation, as well as the logistical challenges of distributing vaccine doses to hundreds of millions of Americans as quickly as possible.

This work may involve supervision of graduate research assistants, and may result in outputs that include contributing to co-authored publications, publicizing of collaborative work for popular press and grant reports, design of exhibitions among other formats. Approximately thirty percent of the incumbent\u2019s time will be dedicated to this collaborative research.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe incumbent will also be invited to propose new avenues of research, publication, or collaboration addressing CSR\u2019s current research foci. The project(s) proposed by the research scholar\u2015to be completed during their time at CSR\u2015should aim to reach multiple disciplines and experiment with methods and modes of presenting academic research using visual media, mapping, and\/or data visualization. This work will be published on the Center\u2019s website in a media or platform appropriate to the work, and the incumbent will be encouraged to find further avenues for publication. The Associate Research Scholar will be eligible to receive assistance from graduate student researchers in this work. Forty percent of the incumbent\u2019s time will be dedicated to this proposed research.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe incumbent will teach one lab-oriented course run by\u00a0CSR. CSR is dedicated to providing open source tutorials related to critical approaches to mapping and data visualization used in CSR research; the incumbent will contribute to this library of tutorials on topics related to their interests and\/or courses they teach. These activities advancing the critical pedagogies of CSR\u2019s academic initiatives will make up approximately thirty percent of the incumbent\u2019s time.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe candidate must have a background in the design disciplines and be eager and able to work in an interdisciplinary setting with researchers and faculty from diverse spheres such as Architecture and Urbanism, Art History, Anthropology, English, History, and others. Candidates for professional officer of research positions are expected to have established their ability to conduct original, independent research. Associate research scholars\u2019 qualifications and contributions to their fields of research must be equivalent to those of an assistant professor.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EExperience and interest in mapping and data visualization is required. Candidates will have the ability to do collaborative and cross-disciplinary research, the ability to convey specialized knowledge to students and faculty working in the Center, and strong communication skills overall.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESuccessful candidates will have robust experience with\u00a0GIS-based research methods as well as a range of other computational tools for urban research and must be eager to acquire additional skills through their work with\u00a0CSR. The Center\u2019s projects typically draw on a range of tools including:\u00a0GIS\u00a0(ESRI\u00a0and Open Source); R; Python; Adobe Creative Suite; as well as mapping and visualization libraries such as Leaflet, Processing, D3, APIs, HTML5,\u00a0CSS, and Javascript. The incumbent is expected to have proficiency in the tools that advance the spatial research methods they use in their specialization area, and should express these in their research statement. A willingness to learn new software and the most up to date tools in addition to a collaborative spirit is a requirement of the job.\u00a0 Successful candidates will show how their own fields of specialty intersect with or bring new tools and research methods to research in the urban humanities.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECandidates are expected to have some combination of publication in recognized media, conference presentations, and\/or participation in exhibitions.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease visit our online application site at \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/pa334.peopleadmin.com\/postings\/7325\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/pa334.peopleadmin.com\/postings\/7325\u003C\/a\u003E for further information about this position and to submit your application.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease submit a letter of application, CV, a statement of current and future research plans, writing samples, samples of work (research\/projects), and names and contact information for three references.
