(senior) researcher f/m
for the Intelligent Interactive Distributed Systems group
vacancynumber 2827.2001027
The Division Mathematics & Computer Science of the Faculty of
Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is seeking to
recruit a (senior) researcher.
The main focus of research is to develop middleware to support
the design of intelligent interactive (multi-agent) distributed
systems. Scalability, security, fault-tolerant communication,
and performance of agent systems are aspects of importance.
Services such as directory services, agent factories, but also
system management support, are necessary extensions. Intelligent
interactive distributed applications provide proof of
concept. Examples of such applications are mobile co-operative
information retrieval agents, distributed design systems,
embedded internet systems.
The research setting is strong: both the AI Group and the
Computer Systems group at the VU, are renowned for their
accomplishments with well qualified researchers with whom
collaboration has already been established. The research
programme has guaranteed funding from Stichting NLnet for
the coming 10 years with the requirement that all results of
this group's research are made available in the public domain
as open source.
REQUIREMENTS
Candidates must have a strong academic background (PhD) in
Computer Science, with a strong affinity to AI, with research
experience in distributed systems/agent systems. The value of
collaboration must be understood and mastered: to bridge a gap
between disciplines not only is knowledge of importance:
co-operative skills are mandatory. Teaching is limited (at
most 1 day/week): research and development is the focus of this
position.
SALARY
Depending on experience salary can range from hfl 5.453,-
(scale 10) to hfl 9.150,- (scale 12) per month for a researcher
and hfl 8.148,- (scale 13) to hfl 10.903,- (scale 14) per
month for full time employment for a senior researcher.
