Work description

 

The PhD candidate will be a member of the MUSED project team (https://www.ntnu.edu/idi/mused/). In MUSED, we will focus on developing methods necessary for effective and efficient detection and prediction of events from multiple and possibly heterogeneous streaming data sources. In particular, the PhD candidate will develop new well-performing, computationally efficient, and scalable approaches for searching and mining streaming data, and will work within at least one of the following topics:

 

• Advanced search techniques for streaming data

• Extraction and exploration of spatio-temporal information

• Mining techniques for fast-evolving data

 

Qualifications

 

A master's degree in Computer and Information Science or equivalent with very good results is required, with an average grade B or better as measured in ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) grades, or an education at the equivalent level. A solid knowledge of database systems, information retrieval and/or algorithms is essential, and a research-oriented master thesis within one of these or related areas is expected. Good programming skills are required.
