The Insight Centre for Data Analytics at NUI Galway, Ireland is looking
for an excellent post-doctoral researcher with a PhD in computer science
to work with the Information Mining and Retrieval Group
(http://uimr.insight-centre.org <http://uimr.insight-centre.org/>). The
successful candidate will focus on research challenges in Linked-Data
Analytics, Web-Mining, Web-Science, Graph/Network Analytics and
Databases, Event Detection, Machine Learning (in the context of
Linked-Data and Graph Analytics), Adaptive Search and Recommender
Systems; Some of the challenges currently being investigated are:
* Novel approaches to
Social Network Analysis and Graph Mining on heterogeneous networks to
uncover dependent concepts, labels,
latent relationships and for causality exploration
* Scalable and interpretable user/group role analysis and modelling
* Graph-based real-time recommendation approaches using Linked Data as a
source of open background data
* Spatio-temporal correlation analysis on changes to network structure
to predict events, churn, community formation
* Stream-computing models for mining massive heterogeneous graphs
– for example graphs combining social and linked-data
* Hybrid knowledge
graph mining techniques combining statistical and logic, inductive and
deductive approaches
You should have a PhD related to one of the above topics and have
publications in top-ranked conferences/journals. The Insight Centre and
the UIMR group provide a supportive open environment for creative
thinking and making, collaboration and team work. Within the UIMR group,

postdocs and 9 PhD and Masters students. You should have genuine
interest in teamwork, collaboration and post-graduate student
supervision and guidance; As part of this position, you may have the
opportunity to contribute teaching to the MSc in Computer Science (Data
Analytics) at NUI Galway.
