Đại học Edinburgh tuyển PhD, Database group

PhD position, Database group, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh

A PhD position is available in the Database Group, Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, at the University of Edinburgh. The start date is 1 September 2010.

The projects of the group are centered around theoretical aspects of XML. However, prior knowledge of XML is not a requirement - XML is easy to learn (think of trees). It is essential that the candidate possess strong theoretical skills, especially in logic, automata, complexity, and algorithms. The group is working on several aspects of XML data management including XML schema mappings, data exchange, data integration, incomplete information, constraints, and static analysis.

Recent and current group members (postdocs and PhD students) include Shunichi Amano, Claire David, Filip Murlak, Antonella Poggi, Juan Reutter, Cristina Sirangelo, Tony Tan, and Anthony Widjaja To; in addition Marcelo Arenas and Pablo Barcelo are regular visitors.

The position is for 3 years. It provides a standard fellowship, home fees, as well as travel funds. The successful candidate will be affiliated with both the database group and LFCS (Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science).
