Postdoc at Insight NUI Galway (formerly DERI)

The Insight Centre for Data Analytics at NUI Galway, Ireland is looking 
for an excellent post-doctoral researcher with a PhD in computer science 
to work with the Information Mining and Retrieval Group 
(http://uimr.insight-centre.org <http://uimr.insight-centre.org/>). The 
successful candidate will focus on research challenges in Linked-Data 
Analytics, Web-Mining, Web-Science, Graph/Network Analytics and 
  Databases, Event Detection, Machine Learning (in the context of 
Linked-Data and Graph Analytics), Adaptive Search and Recommender 
Systems; Some of the challenges currently being investigated are:

  * Novel approaches to
    Social Network Analysis and Graph Mining on heterogeneous networks to uncover dependent concepts, labels,

    latent relationships and for causality exploration
  * Scalable and interpretable user/group role analysis and modelling
  * Graph-based real-time recommendation approaches using Linked Data as a source of open background data
  * Spatio-temporal correlation analysis on changes to network structure
    to predict events, churn, community formation
  * Stream-computing models for mining massive heterogeneous graphs
    – for example graphs combining social and linked-data
  * Hybrid knowledge
    graph mining techniques combining statistical and logic, inductive and deductive approaches

You should have a PhD related to one of the above topics and have 
publications in top-ranked conferences/journals. The Insight Centre and

postdocs and 9 PhD and Masters students. You should have genuine 
interest in teamwork, collaboration and post-graduate student 
supervision and guidance; As part of this position, you may have the 
opportunity to contribute teaching to the MSc in Computer Science (Data 
Analytics)  at NUI Galway.
