The Web Information Systems (WIS) group in TU Delft (Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands) has a PhD position available in Semantic Search, Linked Data and Adaptive Web, funded in a collaboration with Dutch cultural heritage partners. The WIS group concentrates in its research on large-scale information systems, specifically information systems that involve Web and Semantic Web technology. Main topics in the group's research activities are: - engineering and science of the adaptive web, including user modeling and personalization, - semantic search and retrieval, - semantic integration and linked data. Candidates should have a master degree in computer science or related disciplines. Knowledge of Web and Semantic Web languages and tools is a plus, as is knowledge of search and retrieval techniques. To be able to work in this international group candidates should have good communicative skills in English, both in speaking and in writing. For this particular position, the candidate should be able to work with data in Dutch, and therefore we demand that a candidate is able to read Dutch or a closely related language. We are looking for a candidate with good programming skills as well as good conceptual modeling skills. Successful candidates will work in collaboration with prominent cultural heritage institutes as well as with companies that offer state-of-the-art search and retrieval solutions. We offer the chance to perform high-quality and cutting-edge research in an international environment, while working in close collaboration with the members of the WIS group at TU Delft. The fully funded PhD position is available for a period of four years. Candidates should be able to start in the spring of 2011. Candidates can express their interest by sending an email with a CV (indicating their language skills) and a motivation letter to prof.dr.ir. Geert-Jan Houben at wis@ewi.tudelft.nl (mentioning the subject "PhD2011-1"). At this moment there is no need to send other files or documents. Emails that do not meet these requirements will not be processed. More information about the group can be found at wis.ewi.tudelft.nl. The deadline for applications is January 22nd 2011, but applications will be processed as they are received.
