RCUK Academic Fellowships in Exabyte Informatics
The University of Bristol is offering three RCUK Academic Fellowships in
the area of Exabyte Informatics, one available for 2006 and the other
two to begin in 2007. The main responsibility of the Research Fellow is
to advance the state of the art in Exabyte Informatics by carrying out
world-class research on key research topics.
Exabyte Informatics is concerned with methods and techniques for
exploiting the vast amounts of computer-readable data that are now
available and routinely being produced in all areas of human activitiy
including science, commerce, and the home environment. The challenges
posed by the sheer volume of data, as well as the opportunities arising
from ever-increasing computing power and connectivity of devices,
require highly innovative ways of storing, managing, retrieving and
mining data. The Computer Science department has initiated and is
leading this University-wide research theme.
The aim of an RCUK Academic Fellowship is to provide a young researcher
with a more attractive and stable path into academia, by requiring the
host organisation to guarantee the Fellow a permanent academic position
following the end of the 5 year award, subject to successful completion
of a probationary period. We seek to appoint outstanding Research
Fellows to work with leading researchers from the participating
departments. This reinforces the inter-disciplinary nature of the
research and provides the Fellow with an excellent environment to
kick-start his or her academic career. The ideal candidate has a
thorough background in artificial intelligence, machine learning and
data mining, pattern recognition, statistics, algorithms, and discrete
mathematics, and has research experience in at least two of these areas.
The closing date for applications is 9am, 4 August 2006. For further
details including an on-line application form, see the advert on
jobs.ac.uk. Further information can also be obtained from Professor
Peter Flach. When applying, please include a Research Statement
outlining how your past research and future research plans fit in with
the Exabyte Informatics research theme.
