[Apologies for Cross Postings]
The Knowledge Media Institute at the Open
University has openings for Research Fellows to undertake research in the
area of Semantic Web Services - using Semantic Web technology to support the
development and use of Web Services. This work will take place within the
context of two new EU-funded projects: LUISA and The Living Human Digital
Library (LHDL). LUISA will integrate Semantic Web Services with eLearning. LHDL
will use Semantic Web Services as a platform to create a complete in silico
model of the human musculo
skeletal system from
the whole body level down to the protein
level.
The ideal candidate should have experience in ontologies,
developing symbolic AI systems and web services. Additionally knowledge of KMi's
platform IRS-III, the Web Services Modelling Ontology (WSMO), Java and/or Lisp
would also be useful.
Appointment as a Research Fellow requires a PhD or
three years equivalent in quality of
achievement.
