at the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Group headed by Prof. Hölldobler at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The group (www.wv.inf. tu-dresden. de/) coordinates the “European Master’s Program in Computational Logic” (european.computati onal- logic.org/) and manages the “International Center for Computational Logic” (www.computational- logic.org/ index.php) . The group’s research orientation is strongly based on logic and formal methods,while the focus lies on the development of methods for knowledge representation and inference as well as on neural-symbolic integration.
The open position is for a Ph.D. Student or Post-Doc. It is available from Aug. 1, 2008 with a duration of 3 years and the possibility of prolongation up to 2 years. The salary is based on E13 TV-L.
The successful candidate is expected to do research in the area of Computational Logic (leading to a doctoral thesis in case of candidates without Ph.D. respectivly leading to a ‘Habilitation’ in case of Ph.D. holders), to do four hours teaching per week during lecturing periods, to assist in supervising the work of students, to provide assistance with administrative academic overhead and project acquisition in an international setting, and to play a substantial role in the administration and maintenance of the group's computer systems consisting of Linux and Apple computers.
Applicants should have an excellent diploma or master degree in computer science or related subject (higher qualifications - e.g. Ph.D. - are also welcome), substantial knowledge in logic-oriented Artificial Intelligence and/or related subjects, proficiency in English, and a substantial acquaintance with German which promises to impove rapidly till spring 2009 such that it will suffice for teaching and dealing with administrative issues.
Please send your application (CV, certificates, transcript of records, contact information of persons whom we can contact for references) to the address mentioned below before July 25, 2008. Please send only copies of your application documents. Electronic applications are accepted.
