Posted on behalf of Prof. Alan Rector

Research Software Developer (2 posts)

School of Computer Science

Closing date: 29/07/2009
Reference: EPS/90772

An opportunity has arisen to join a successful academic and industrial  
partnership at the forefront of semantic technologies and health  
informatics. The University of Manchester and Siemens Medical  
Solutions USA have entered into a collaboration to develop next  
generation clinical systems and knowledge management environments  
using semantic technology. The development will build on the highly  
successful CO-ODE project, which is producing the Protégé-OWL  
cooperative ontology development environment and related tools in  
collaboration with Stanford University.

You will have experience of the full software design cycle, experience  
of logic based systems, OWL, description logics or related Semantic  
Web technologies, and solid and provable grasp of the Java programming  
language. Prior experience in the healthcare area would be an  
advantage but is not required. Experience in developing user  
interfaces is highly desirable. There will be a strong interaction  
with the industrial partners, and therefore you should be able to  
communicate technical details effectively in a professional manner.  
You will design, develop and test prototype and production software to  
set time scales and to respond flexibly to changing specifications  
with a high degree of competency and accuracy.
