PhD Studentship in Spatio-temporal Linked Data Web, UK
PhD Studentship,Spatio-temporal Linked Data Web,Cardiff School of Computer Science, Cardiff University,UK
Job Description: The rapid growth of structured data on the Web (Data Web) is creating a need for research in the paradigm of structured-data retrieval. Traditional search engines cannot serve such data as results of keyword-based queries that are typically ambiguous. Also, traditional structured querying languages cannot be used directly as data on the Data Web is heterogeneous, large, distributed, schema-free, and not intuitive for web users. This project will focus on geographic data. The spatial and temporal dimensions of this data imply the need for techniques that allow their efficient structuring and retrieval. The research will investigate the possibility of utilizing and porting existing established research in the area of geographic data management and GIS.
Candidates should:
• either have a good honours degree in a relevant discipline (minimum 2:1);
• or have (or expect to have by Autumn 2010) a Masters qualification in a relevant discipline;
• or have professional qualifications deemed by Cardiff University to be equivalent to the above;
• or be over 25 and have relevant work experience in a position of responsibility.
Degree level mathematics (or equivalent) may be required for some research areas.
You will also be expected to undertake teaching assistance within the School, not normally exceeding six hours per week. Such activities may include supervising tutorial and practical computing classes, and course admin duties. Excellent communication skills are essential; experience of teaching or tutoring is desirable.
If your first language is not English you must provide evidence of competence in English. Our minimum requirement is an overall IELTS result of at least 6.5 with no section less than 6.
The Cardiff School Of Computer Science & Informatics is a research-led School in one of the UK’s premier universities with a leading, international reputation for excellent teaching and research activities.
