Post-doc position: ontology alignment

Post-doctoral position
Ontology alignment techniques
http://www.inrialpes.fr/exmo/training/PD-2004-OAT.html

A postdoctoral position is available at INRIA Rhône-Alpes to 
contribute to the field of ontology alignment, schema matching and 
ontology-based interoperability.

The goal is to advance the state of the art in the development of 
methods for finding correspondence between ontologies and using these 
correspondence for taking advantage of ontologically-marked 
resources. It will also require evaluating the proposed methods and 
comparing and/or composing them with the other available methods. We 
currently use data analysis and semantic methods, but many other 
methods can contribute alignment algorithms.
The successful candidate will have to coordinate work and to 
cooperate with the best teams in the topic in the framework of the 
Knowledge web European network of excellence [1].

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related 
discipline, with research background in at least one of the 
following: machine learning, data analysis, data and knowledge 
representation, web or agent technology. They must have strong 
interest in contributing to the state of the art in ontology 
alignment in the framework of the semantic web.

The position is located at INRIA Rhône-Alpes, Montbonnot (near 
Grenoble, France) a main computer science research lab, in a 
stimulating research environment. Research will be carried out in the 
Exmo team [2] under the supervision of Jérôme Euzenat.

The position is for one year, with possible extension depending on 
performance and funding. Salary will be negotiated according to 
qualifications.

Applicants should email (with title OAT Application) their CV, 
motivation letter and three references to myself.
