[Sweden] Three PhD positions in Database Technology, Uppsala University

Deadline: June 11, 2010

The main goal of this project is to develop general software systems for efficient and scalable processing of data from different kinds of high volume data streams produced by, e.g., industrial or scientific equipment.

It is intended to develop such software systems based on Data Stream Management Systems (DSMS) and the semantic web model. The project is expected to produce novel methods and software for scalable search and data mining in high volume data streams. During the processing various methods are applied (e.g. statistical) to identify when certain properties appear in streaming data.

A successful candidate should have a master of science in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent. Furthermore, it is desirable if the applicant has knowledge in techniques for searching, indexing, and mining in large databases. Good skills in oral and written English are required.

The PhD positions are for a maximum of five years and include departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching).

Uppsala University is striving to achieve a more even gender balance among its staff and women are especially encouraged to apply.

Applications should include

• a brief description of research interest and past experience,
• a CV,
• copies of exams,
• degrees and grades,
• a copy of your Master thesis (or a draft thereof) and other relevant documents.
• The candidates are encouraged to provide letter(s) of recommendation and contact information to reference persons
