Since the end of the 19th century, it has developed a leading-edge tradition in teaching and research in a range of basic and applied topics in various areas of Information and Communication Technologies, Computer Science, Electronics, Power Systems and Applied Mathematics, and it targets its efforts to contribute in application fields of societal importance, such as biomedical engineering, materials, energy systems, information systems, robotics, and transportation.
The department has a long-standing tradition of international recruitment at the Faculty level, and organizes all its Master's programs in English.
Description of the position
The new faculty member will join the EECS department and develop theoretical and/or applied research on data representation and engineering, with a focus on e.g. (i) the foundations and architectures of databases, such as relational, non-relational, object-oriented, graph-oriented, distributed, temporal, probabilistic, or incomplete databases (ii) methods, languages and tools for representing and reasoning on semantic data and knowledge, (iii) metadata management, data provenance, data protection.
He/she will also take part in the teaching activities in computer science, data science, and computer engineering, both at the undergraduate (Bachelor) and graduate (Master) levels, e.g. on databases, advanced databases, large-scale data systems, and knowledge representation and reasoning.
