Job: Postdoc position at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
Duration: 3 years, renewable (by mutual consent) for another 3 years
Topics: Knowledge Representation, Description Logics, Rules

Language requirement: English

Application deadline: 25 March 2009
============================================================


The KRDB research centre at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
(http://www.inf.unibz.it/krdb/) seeks applicant for a postdoctoral
position. The bulk of the research to be carried out is in the context
of the ONTORULE project (http://ontorule-project.eu/), and is concerned
with the application of Description Logics to business rules and the
combination of production rule and Description Logic formalisms. Both
representational adequacy and computational complexity play important
roles in such combinations.

Candidates must have a strong research record and a solid background in
description and/or modal logics. Experience with first-order modal and
fixed-point logics, and to a lesser extent experience with active rule
languages such as production rules, is considered desirable, but by no
means mandatory.
