Research Fellow position in:  Knowledge Driven Data Exploitation (K-Drive) project

Period: 2 years

High Salary: University grade 8, £47,314 per annum

Friendly research environment:  ARK group of the University of Aberdeen, UK

 

Details:

Knowledge Driven Data Exploitation (K-Drive) is a European Commission 7^th Framework Programme project for Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways. The main goals of the K-Drive are (1) the development of efficient and scalable query generation techniques with potential for dealing with streaming data and knowledge, (2) detailed studies of their use for exploiting both public data and private data, with the future perspective of using these novel knowledge driven data analysis tools as diagnostic and guidance tools for domain experts and end users.

The Agents, Reasoning, and Knowledge (ARK) group of the University of Aberdeen will be in charge of the development of efficient and scalable query generation and answering technologies, stream semantic query technologies and hypothesis generation and guidance technologies. In the K-Drive project, knowledge/data will be extracted and formalised into description logic-based ontologies in real time and the processing of such knowledge/data, and corresponding generation and answering of different queries will also be performed dynamically. To accomplish these technical tasks, novel query generation and answering technologies need to be developed and implemented. For this purpose, the ARK group is looking for a highly competent and experienced research fellow to help undertake the above activities.

As a candidate, you should have a strong background in Computer Science i.e., a PhD in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence, alongside a thorough understanding of:

(1) knowledge of ontologies, description logic reasoning and their applications,

(2) knowledge of data summarisation,

(3) knowledge of stream data processing,

(4) knowledge of semantic search and semantic query answering,

(5) knowledge of the Semantic Web and its standards and

(6) Knowledge of knowledge-based systems.

Publications on these topics or in top Web conferences will be highly desirable. Experience in data mining, machine learning and distributed computation will be desirable. You will be expected to have experience in designing semantic technology-based systems and the ability to combine formal theoretical work with application-oriented research. Solid skills and experience in Java programming will be required.

 

Marie Curie Research Training Networks aims to provide training and research experiences for researchers at the beginning of their careers by creating an opportunity to spend a few years in another country as part of an international, high-quality research network. As such please note that it is a stipulation of the funding body that applicants have NOT lived, worked or studied in the UK for more than 12 months in the past three years. Additionally, the funding body stipulates that candidates must demonstrate 4-10 years experience in research.

 

This post is funded from the K-Drive project and will be offered for a period of 2 years. 

 

Salary will be £47,314 as stipulated by the funding body.
