Senior Researcher in Information Systems

THIS IS A READVERTISEMENT. PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY.



We are pleased to announce the availability of a full-time (part-time/job-
share considered) Senior Researcher in Information Systems position for up to
3 years. Researchers in all topics related to reasoning with connections to
data semantics will be considered, with a preference towards researchers
working on scalable systems for reasoning and query answering over large scale
data sources; see, e.g., our RDFox project 1. See 2 for more information about
the Information Systems research group and our various research projects.



The project aims to push forward the capabilities of semantic technologies,
and you would be examining a number of directions such as developing languages
and algorithms for declarative data analysis of static and dynamic data,
distributed storage and reasoning, stream reasoning, and integrating semantic
and relational stores.



The primary selection criteria are a doctoral degree in computer science or a
related discipline, preferably with post-qualification research experience,
particularly in the areas of theoretical computer science, logic, and/or
databases, and a strong publication record.



Whilst the role is a Grade 8 position, we would be willing to consider
candidates with potential but less experience who are seeking a development
opportunity, for which an initial appointment would be at Grade 7 (£31,604 -
£38,833 p.a.) with the responsibilities adjusted accordingly (for Grade 7, you
would be expected to hold a doctoral degree in computer science or a related
discipline, or be close to completion). This would be discussed with
applicants at interview/appointment where appropriate.



The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 12 March 2018.
