Fwd: Open Position as a PhD Student in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

See phd opportunity below, in line with my findings posted earlier

*Your research will involve the development of knowledge representation and
reasoning methods for mapping between different representations as they are
viewed over time by different users. One focus is the development of
methods for detecting and repairing inconsistencies and constraint
violations across these different views.*

*Open Position as a PhD Student* *at Universität Stuttgart, Germany – Apply
until May 15th!*

*Research Task:* Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

*Location:* Universität Stuttgart, Institute for Parallel and Distributed
Systems, Analytic Computing Department, Universitätsstr. 32, 70569
Stuttgart, Germany

Analytic Computing is a new team and the nucleus for a new Institute for
Artificial Intelligence at Universität Stuttgart, Germany. The new
institute is endowed by the Cyber Valley Initiative that funds and joins AI
research at the Universities of Stuttgart and Tübingen and the
Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems. Our research interests
include foundations of knowledge graphs, machine learning, natural language
processing, intelligent interactive systems, as well as reflection on Web,
AI and society.

We invite applications as researcher for a full-time position as a

             *PhD student (100% TV-L E 13)*

Your research will involve the development of knowledge representation and
reasoning methods for mapping between different representations as they are
viewed over time by different users. One focus is the development of
methods for detecting and repairing inconsistencies and constraint
violations across these different views.

The KR&R methods will be developed for the use case of architectural design
and construction. Thus, it involves the development of core ontologies for
architectural design processes and representation methods that allow
reasoning about design processes at different levels of abstraction. The
position offers some flexibility and stronger focus can be given to more
fundamental or more application-oriented questions dependent on your
interests. The duration of the position is limited to 3 years.

*What We Will Offer*

We provide you with a friendly, but challenging interdisciplinary research
environment and support your academic career towards accomplishing your
Ph.D. You will join a dedicated team of 2 researchers in the field of
knowledge representation and reasoning. The targeted work will happen in
collaboration with a researcher who is an architect.

*What You Will Contribute*

You will work on core ontologies for architecture, engineering and
construction, on formal logic operators that aggregate and translate
between different stages of the engineering process and corresponding
formal reasoning methods. You will advise and tutor bachelor and master
students in the computer and data science programs of the department in
topics related to your research.

*Eligibility*

Applicants for the position are required to have an MSc in computer science
or in a related field. You should possess knowledge in logics and/or
ontologies and/or formal artificial intelligence. First experience with KR
methods like knowledge graphs, semantic web technology or logical knowledge
representation methods is also required for the position. Good social and
communication skills are a must.

*Salary*

The salary amounts to German TV-L E 13, which starts at approx. 50,000 Euro
income per year (before taxation). The position is open as of July 1, 2021.

*More Information*

Visit our website at https://www.ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de/departments/ac/ and
the website about Cyber Valley at https://cyber-valley.de/en. Personal
inquires can be directed to Prof. Staab or Dr. Potyka.

*Application*

Please submit your application in one PDF file including a letter of
motivation, a curriculum vitae and scans of your original transcripts and
diplomas (or stamped, official translations) until May 15, 2021, by email
with the subject “Application Knowledge Representation” to:
