Three Post-Doctoral Research Fellows/Research Assistants Positions @ University of Leeds, UK

We are seeking for motivated researchers to join two newly starting
EU-funded ICT Framework 7 projects:
– DICODE (Mastering Data-intensive Collaboration and Decision Making);
– ImREAL (Immersive Reflective Experience-based Adaptive Learning).

Both DICODE and ImREAL are highly ambitious interdisciplinary projects,
involving a number of European Academic and Industrial partners. Leeds
focuses on acquiring a deeper understanding of the construction and usage of
collective intelligence for learning, collaboration and decision making. We
aim to break new grounds in the design and development of intelligent
technologies for collective knowledge capture and user/community modelling
in the new age of smart digital social spaces.

DICODE aims to deliver a set of innovative, adaptive and interoperable
services which facilitate the synergy between human and machine reasoning.
Three complex use cases provide the context for the development and
experimentation. See project web site:
http://www.dicode-project.eu/<https://outlook.leeds.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=60839e9ddc444bf0879d4c90ba9e5f58&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.dicode-project.eu%2f>.

ImREAL aims to deliver intelligent services that augment dialogue simulators
for learning. Three key services will be developed: capturing real world
activity and semantic content annotation, extended user and context
modelling, and adaptive meta-cognitive scaffolding. An integrated framework
will be implemented and instantiated to extend simulated environments, see
http://www.imreal-project.eu/<https://outlook.leeds.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=60839e9ddc444bf0879d4c90ba9e5f58&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.imreal-project.eu%2f>

University of Leeds is the UK's eighth biggest research powerhouse, and is
one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK. The posts are
based in the School of Computing, which is a leading international centre
for computing research with an impressive 80% of research activity rated as
internationally excellent or world leading. The School is home to a large
community of research staff and students, with over 30 research staff and 70
research students working as groups within dedicated research laboratories.
We identify our staff as being the key to our success and ensure that
colleagues have the necessary quality of time and space to be able to
undertake high calibre research.

All three posts are offered at university Grade 6 (£24,273 - £28,983 p.a.)
or Grade 7 (£29,853 – £35,646 p.a.), dependent upon qualifications and
relevant research experience.
