Research Associate in Middleware Development
National Transport Data Framework
Salary: £22,870 - £33,330 per annum, dependent on experience
Fixed-Term Appointment for 24 Months in the first instance
The aim of this project, which is supported by the UK Department for
Transport is to develop a software framework (National Transport Data
Framework) to enable the sharing and integration of a wide variety of
different types of real time and historic transport data amongst diverse users.
The project will involve the development of middleware and number of specific
applications to demonstrate the operation of the framework. The project will
involve close collaboration with the transport industry and relevant public
authorities and academic researches.
The NTDF is a collaborative venture between the Centre for Transport
Studies at Imperial College London and academic groups at Cambridge
University. A second research associate post will be based at Cambridge and
the two will work closely together in the development of the National
Transport Data Framework.
Applicants should be qualified to doctoral level (or have equivalent professional
experience) in a relevant aspect of computer science or a closely related
discipline. The post will require skills in middleware development and some
familiarity with e-science concepts. The project will need to handle high-volume
data streams, and experience with such systems would be an advantage. The
design will involve web services, WSDL, UDDI and XML. Candidates who are
familiar with the main e-science packages released by OMII will be preferred.
Prior experience in transport modelling is also desirable, but not essential.
