L3S Scholarship Annoucement

Students in the last year of their studies (or beyond) and who are
interested in working at L3S Research Center (www.l3s.de) and/or want
to start their Ph.D. studies at the University of Hannover (Germany)
should apply for a scholarship.

You will work on Information Retrieval and Ranking research projects
(http://l3s.de/english/projects/projects_overview.html). These
projects focus on three specific target areas: The World Wide Web,
Peer2Peer Networks, and more recently, Personal Computers. Our main
goal on the Web is to propose new solutions for personalizing
search. We usually achieve this by means of an improved ranking
algorithm built on top of a regular search algorithm. We are also
interested in introducing personalization into the field, both for the
search itself and for other applications, such as trust and reputation
algorithms. Finally, we deal with continuous querying environments,
also known as publish/subscribe systems. Recent research is about
introducing context-based semantics into the desktop search
algorithms, but we also investigate other subjects, such as semantic
social networks built on top of the PC desktop etc.

Candidates have to speak and write English fluently. The German
language would be of real help, but it is not taken into account for
the selection of the candidates.

The salary will be 830Euro/month for the first 6 months, which will be
the probation period. The first contract will start October 1st 2005
and will be for 6 months. For more information please contact L3S
(strutz@l3s.de).

You will work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl
(nejdl@l3s.de). He is professor of computer science at the University
of Hannover since 1995, and worked as professor or visiting researcher
at Vienna, Aachen, Stanford, Urbana-Champaign and
Lausanne. Prof. Nejdl is the executive director of the L3S Research
Center, one of the most renowned research institutes in Germany for
eLearning and Semantic Web.

The deadline for applying is July 31st, 2005. Please send your
application with c.v. and relevant documents to
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl, L3S Research Center
Deutscher Pavillon, Expo Plaza 1
30539 Hannover, Germany
