NTNU - knowledge for a better world

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) creates knowledge for a better world and solutions that can change everyday life.

The Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering (http://www.ntnu.edu/ime) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has a vacancy for a 100 % position as a postdoctoral fellow within Mining Streaming Data at the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDI) (http://www.ntnu.edu/idi).

The appointment is for a term of up to three years with teaching duties equivalent to 25 %, or two years without duties. The position of post-doctoral fellow is a fixed-term position with the primary objective of qualifying for work in top academic posts. The selected post-doctoral fellow will also assist in PhD student supervision and a significant contribution in project applications for external funds is expected. The position represents an excellent opportunity for an individual to develop his/her career and contribute to the further development of the collaboration.

Information about the department

Currently there are 24 professors and 14 associate professors at the department. In addition there are 15 adjunct associate professors, 15 postdoctoral researchers, approx. 65 active PhD students, and 18 technical/administrative staff.

Research activities are organized into groups and strategic European and National projects as documented here http://www.ntnu.edu/idi/research. The candidate will be affiliated with the Data and Information Management Group (https://www.ntnu.edu/idi/groups/dif).

Work description

The postdoc researcher 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. We will develop frameworks and scalable techniques for supporting such analytical methods. In particular, the postdoc researcher will develop new well-performing, computationally efficient, and scalable approaches for querying and mining semi-structured streaming data, and/or information retrieval.
