PhD in Representation of geographic relevance in mobile applications-University of Zurich

Universität Zürich, Geographisches Institut, Abt. GIVA

Representation of geographic relevance in mobile applications The Geographic Information Visualization and Analysis group at the University of Zurich invites applications for a doctoral research assistant position in Geographic Information Science/Geovisualization to work on a 3-year project. The highly motivated, successful applicant will be asked to develop methods for representing geographic relevance, including relevance-based filtering of features in the context of mobile geoservices. The objective is to find appropriate representations and metaphors for the geographic relevance concept and design suitable tests for an evaluation of these developments. Applicants are required to have successfully completed a Masters degree in a relevant area, e.g., Geography, Geoinformatics /Geographic Information Science, Psychology, Cognitive Science, or Computer Science. You have experience in GIS, spatial data representation and handling as well as quantitative spatio-temporal analysis methodologies. Knowledge of wayfinding, spatial cognition, and decision making would be an asset. You have good programming skills (preferably Java), you are confident in implementing the developed methods in the context of a geoservice framework. You have a proven ability to work independently on guided projects, and are interested in presenting your results orally and in publications for a larger scientific audience. You have a very good standard of written and spoken English and knowledge of German, whilst not required, would be an advantage. The position, housed in the GIScience Center of the Geography Department, will start in September 2008, or as soon as possible thereafter. For more background information about the department please visit us on the Web at http://www.geo.uzh.ch/gia/aboutus/ or direct any informal enquiries about the position to the address below.

Remember

Remember, a phrasal verb is the same as any other verb. It can be used in all tenses and has all the same forms as any other verb.

 

There are two kinds of verbs transitive and intransitive.

 

1. A transitive verb needs to have a direct object to complete its thought.
   Example (non-phrasal verb): Jason drinks coffee.
   Example (Phrasal verb): Megan picked out a new dress.
   

 

1. An intransitive verb does not use a direct object to complete its thought.
   Example (non-phrasal verb): Jason left.
   Example (Phrasal verb): Megan woke up.
   

 

When you use an intransitive phrasal verb, you don't have to worry about the structure. It is very clear. The structure always follows this pattern:

 

Subject	+	Verb	+	Particle
Megan	+	Woke	+	Up
Jason	+	Sits	+	Down

 

 

Transitive phrasal verbs are more complex because there are a couple more rules that determine the structure of the sentence.

There are two major situations that you will find.
1. The object is a noun.
2. The object is a pronoun.

1. When the object is a noun, you have two choices.

Subject	+	Verb	+	Object (noun)	+	Particle
Jason	+	looks	+	a word	+	up

Or

Subject	+	Verb	+	Particle	+	Object (noun)
Jason	+	looks	+	up	+	a word

 
 

2. When the object is a pronoun (me, you, them, it etc.), you have only one choice.

Subject	+	Verb	+	Object (noun)	+	Particle
Jason	+	looks	+	it	+	up

Note: There are some transitive phrasal verbs that are not separable (you can't separate the verb and particle). These always require that the object come after the particle.
