The position offered is "Researcher on Ontologies for Information Retrieval and Filtering" ref.: eniraf-wp8b Application deadline: June 30, 2006 Job starting date: September 1, 2006 Contract period: 4 months More details on The Researchers’ Mobility Portal: http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=1&l2=1&l3=1&IdJob=11674370 Also the opportunity to visit a beautiful country of Poland: More about Poland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland More about Poznan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozna%C5%84 The airport: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozna%C5%84-%C5%81awica_Airport Turism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Poland Department of Management Information Systems at The Poznan University of Economics, Poland is looking for a visiting scholar for a 4-months stay. The researcher will be funded by FP6 Marie Curie Host Fellowship for the Transfer of Knowledge under the project ENIRAF – Enhanced Information Retrieval and Filtering for Analytical Systems (http://eniraf.mis.ae.poznan.pl/). Focus of the research in this project is on ontologies, web services and the Semantic Web for information filtering. The goal of this four-month position is to exchange experience on merging of Semantic Web Technologies and Information Filtering Technologies, as well as developing some successful cases and inspirations for future work. Therefore, it would be advantageous if a candidate had prepared his or her dissertation on these two topics. There are many different approaches to Semantic Web Information Retrieval and for the benefits of the project, we will not restrict ourselves to just one. These approaches should be systematized (into processes, stages, areas) and evaluated in the context of our current projects. The projects, which we are currently working on in our department, cover such areas as: information extraction, shallow text processing, spatial and temporal ontologies, and ontology evolution. In order to familiarize himself/herself with these projects, the successful candidate will work particularly closely with one of the teams, staying in touch with all other teams. The focus is on collaboration and transfer of knowledge, which includes preparation of workshops for faculty and lectures for students. A successful candidate should be familiar with Semantic Web Technologies as she/he will be consulting and suggesting new ideas for projects. Some general framework is already in place and the ontology is still being developed. A refinement approach should be taken as this workpackage belongs to a series of “Ontologies for IRaF” workpackages. The incoming researcher, together with the co-operating team, will prepare a publication in a recognized journal or at least a chapter in an edited book, to show the results of the project. To be eligible for this action you have to be an experienced researcher. Experienced researchers are defined as researchers having at least 4 and no more than 10 years of research experience since gaining a university diploma or researchers already in possession of a doctoral degree.
