Hello, we are happy to announce that Neofonie (http://www.neofonie.de), a Berlin search engine company, has agreed to fund a researcher/developer to work on DBpedia (http://dbpedia.org/About) for one year. The researcher/developer will work half of his time directly together with the DBpedia team at Freie Universität Berlin and will work the other half at Neofonie. At Freie Universität, he will contribute to the further development of the DBpedia information extraction framework and will investigate approaches to augment and fusion DBpedia with external Web data sources. At Neofonie, he will develop innovative Wikipedia/DBpedia search and query user interfaces based on a facet-browsing engine being developed by Neofonie. The ideal candidate should have: + a firm background in Computer Science and Semantic Web Technology + excellent programming skills (PHP, Java) + excellent knowledge of web-related languages and standards (RDF, SPARQL) + a sound understanding of human-computer interaction and interface design + experience with information extraction techniques I think that the position offers a great opportunity to contribute to the transfer of research results to early adopters within industry. You will be given the chance to be part of two innovative but also cordial teams. After the year, chances are high that you will be able to choose between longer-term positions at Neofonie as well as at Freie Universität Berlin. If you are interested in the position, please contact me via email for additional details (including information about your skills and experience).
