The Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing Lab of the
Albert-Ludwig-University Freiburg, Germany, is involved in the ESPRIT IST FET project cInQ (Consortium on Inductive Query Languages).
This project is expected to start in April or May 2001 and to run for three years.
The topic of the project is Inductive Query Languages. These are database mining languages that
allow to query patterns in databases. In this way they support not only
the retrieval of information that resides in the database but also to discover the regularities that are implicit in the data.
For this project, the Machine Learning and Natural Language Lab seeks
a research assistant (level Bat IIa) at the pre-doctoral or post-doctoral level.
The ideal candidate has a degree in computer science, with a specialization in databases, data mining and logic programming.
While German language capabilities are not required at the time of employment,
it is expected and highly recommended that the successful candidate is
open towards acquiring some basic German communication skills. In case of equal qualifications candidates with disabilities will
be prefered. The University is striving for an increase of the proportion of female employees and expressly encourages women to apply.
The Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg is looking back on more than 500 years of history. The Institute for Computer Science is
part of the newly founded Faculty for Applied Sciences. The city of Freiburg is located at the foot of the Black Forest in
south-western Germany in close proximity of the French Alsace as well as north-western Switzerland, and offers high living
standards and ample opportunities for recreational activities.
Interested candidates should contact Prof. Dr. Luc De Raedt, preferably by email ([email protected]),
