Postdoc positions at Umea University (Sweden) in "AI for Data Management".
Application deadline: 30 June 2021
[Please forward to interested parties!]

Postdoc positions are available at the Dept. of Computing Science at Umea
University (Umea, Sweden), within the research group on "Artificial
Intelligence for Data Management" led by prof. Diego Calvanese.
(This is part of a larger call aimed at filling in total 4 PhD and 4 Postdoc
positions.)

We invite highly motivated applicants interested in carrying out foundational
and/or applied research in the context of flexible and efficient management of
large amounts of richly structured data, by relying on semantic technologies and
(virtual) knowledge graphs.  The research in the "AI for Data Management" group
touches and combines the areas of:
- Knowledge Representation (e.g., Description Logics, OWL, Rule-based Languages)
- Knowledge Graphs and Graph Structured Data
- Semantic Web
- Reasoning about Actions and Change
- Databases
- Artificial Intelligence

The research initiative is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and
Software Program (WASP), Sweden's largest individual research program ever, a
major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education
and faculty recruitment, addressing research on artificial intelligence and
autonomous systems.  See https://wasp-sweden.org/.

The Postdoc positions are for 2 years, but funding is already available to
extend them for further two years.  Additional funding is available for travel.
