Description
Two Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Astronomical Databases and Datamining The University of Edinburgh seeks two postdoctoral researchers to join an interdisciplinary team working on astronomical databases and datamining. This new initiative brings together wide field astronomers from the Institute for Astronomy, computer scientists/applied mathematicians from the Division of Informatics and high performance computing specialists from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, to address issues ranging from the design and implementation of large astronomical databases to the use of machine learning and computational geometry techniques to characterise their contents. Candidates with a background in either astronomy or informatics are encouraged to apply. The posts are tenable for 2 years from 1 March 2001 (or soon thereafter), although this research is likely to be supported in the longer term through the Astro-Grid project expected to be funded by the UK Government's e-science initiative. The salary for each post will be on the AR1A (16,775-25,213 pounds pa) or AR2 (23,256 - 30,967 pounds pa) salary scale depending on age, qualifications and experience. Further particulars, including details of the application procedure, should be obtained from the Personnel Department, 9-16 Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH8 9TB or Tel: 0131 650 2511 (24 hour answering service) or www.personnel.ed.ac.uk/recruit.htm (advert will be posted in week beginning 8 January). The further particulars are also available at http://www.roe.ac.uk/wfau/vacancy.html. Closing date for receipt of applications is 31 January 2001. We cannot guarantee to consider late applications. Please quote ref 307014 (Institute for Astrnomy) or ref 307016 (Division of Informatics). Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Bob Mann (rgm@roe.ac.uk) in the Institute for Astronomy or Dr Chris Williams (a href="mailto:c.k.i.williams@ed.ac.uk">c.k.i.williams@ed.ac.uk) in the Division of Informatics.
