The Insight Centre for Data Analytics at NUI Galway (www.insight-centre.org<http://www.insight-centre.org>), Ireland is looking for an excellent post-doctoral researcher with a PhD in computer science to work with its Information Mining and Retrieval Group (UIMR). 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 the UIMR group provide a supportive open environment for creative thinking and making, collaboration and team work. Within the UIMR group, you will work within a team consisting of a senior researcher, several 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.
