As a result of funding under the IST Priority of the European Commission's 6th 
Framework Programme, we are seeking SIX researchers to work on three 
international R&D projects. The projects aim at applying information access and 
retrieval technologies to novel environments. In particular: DILIGENT is 
concerned with integrating Grid and Digital Libraries technologies; PENG aims 
at defining a flexible, personalised and context-aware system for the 
gathering, filtering and presentation of multimedia news for news 
professionals; REVEAL-THIS aims at developing content programming technology 
able to capture, semantically index, categorise and cross-link multi-platform, 
multimedia and multilingual digital content.

Candidates should have a strong scientific background, ideally in computer 
science, with experience in research and development with Windows and Linux 
platforms. Background knowledge and experience in either information retrieval, 
digital libraries, statistical natural language processing, or relevant related 
areas is requested. Ideally, candidates should have, or be about to obtain, a 
PhD in a relevant area.

For more information please contact Professor Fabio Crestani 
(f.crestani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Expression of interest or informal applications, with clear indication of the 
post sought and related qualifications, should be sent by email to Ruth Wilson 
(ruth-jbDEWmSD8rMwZN84zEGlPg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) by 30 August 2004. It is hoped 
that the posts will be formally approved by the university by end of August and 
that the chosen candidates be able to start in September or soon thereafter.
