TU Delft is searching for candidates for
PhD-positions in Web Information Systems.
The Department of Software Technology at TU Delft in the Netherlands comprises the university's research groups working on core Computer Science topics.
The department is responsible for a large part of the curriculum of the BSc and MSc programmes in Computer Science, including the master program on Information Architecture.
The department's research mission is to perform excellent research at an internationally recognised level in the design, construction and analysis of complex concurrent and co-operative computer and information systems.
Inspiration for the research topics is derived largely from technical ICT problems in industry and society. The department starts next to the existing groups on Software Engineering, Parallel and Distributed Systems, and Algorithms, a new group on Web Information Systems (http://www.wis.ewi.tudelft.nl <http://www.wis.ewi.tudelft.nl/> ) that concentrates in its research on advanced technology for large-scale information systems, specifically information systems that involve Web and Semantic Web technology.
For this new group we are looking for different project, ranging from 2 to 4 years, PhD-students that can work on methods, techniques and tools for designing and developing Web information systems, and handling distributed data.
Successful candidates should possess the following knowledge and skills:
- advanced information systems design & modeling
- (Semantic) Web technologies and languages
- good programming skills, ability to develop proof-of-concept tools
- basic software engineering methods and techniques
The candidate's specific areas of interest might include, but are not limited to:
- design methodologies for Web information systems
- Web engineering
- semi-structured data and XML
- Semantic Web languages, e.g. RDF(S)
- query & transformation languages for Web data
- data distribution and interoperability
- ontology-based reasoning techniques
- adaptation, personalization, and user modeling
- aspect-oriented software development
- service-oriented architectures
