The Information Retrieval group at the University of Glasgow, led
by Professor Keith van Rijsbergen, plays a leading role in the international
information retrieval community. Research is based on both theory and
experiment, aiming at giving end-users novel, effective, and efficient access
to the world of multi-media information.
The Department of Computing Science provides a world leading environment for
research, with research focused in 7 groups (Bioinformatics, Computer Vision
& Graphics, Embedded, Networked, and Distributed Systems, Formal Analysis,
Theory and Algorithms, Human Computer Interaction, Information Retrieval and
Software Engineering and Technology).
We are looking for dynamic researchers or research programmers to take part
in our externally funded research projects. You will take part in the research
activities of the multimedia information retrieval group. Current research
activities of the group focus around three themes: multi-modal interaction
& retrieval; personalization and context-sensitive retrieval; modelling and
mining of multimedia data.
These jobs will suit fresh graduates (with a first or a good 2/1
Honours degree in computing or related disciplines) who have an interest in
research. There will be opportunities to pursue MSc by research degree or PhD. We
are also planning to hire post-doctoral researchers. For details about the
application please visit, www.gla.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies.
