Postdoctoral position (2 years) in Federated Database System/Data Mining

The Department of Computing Science at Umeå University, Sweden (http://www.cs.umu.se/english/), invites applications for a postdoctoral position . The successful candidate will join the recently funded project in Umeå University on academic federated database construction and cross-database analysis for research purposes of data from distributed databases. Topics considered as particularly relevant for this position are data integration, privacy preservation, ontology based knowledge mining, and large-scale data analysis.

Priority is given to applications before March 31, 2016, continue until the position is filled
The position is expected to start from June 1, 2016, or as otherwise agreed.

 REQUIREMENTS

The applicant must have a PhD degree in computer science or another subject relevant for the project. In particular, the applicant must have a background in the area of data systems, especially on heterogeneous database integration and management. The PhD degree shall not be more than three years old by the end of the application period unless there are special reasons. Good research merits and excellent publications in the area of the position are strongly meriting. Excellent communication skills in both written and spoken English are required.

Particular emphasis will be put on the degree of academic experiences, practical skills and interest in the following areas:

• Research and practical experiences on database system is essential, especially on distributed, autonomous, heterogeneous databases integration, federated database deployment and management (e.g., query, concurrency control).
• Experience on privacy preservation on federated databases, data mining, and relevant topics would be a plus.
• Programming proficiency on at least one objective language and one script language (e.g., Java/Matlab/Python/Perl/C/C++)
• Publication records on database system, database management, or relevant disciplines
• Experience of Web service deployment and development under Windows/Linux
