| (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.
