Introduction
The Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research http://caisr.hh.se/ at Halmstad University, Sweden, is currently looking for four PhD students in the area of Information Technology, specialization Data Mining, to work within our research projects together with multiple industrial and public administration partners.
Deadline
The deadline for applications is 15th of June 2016.
Duration-Salary
All positions are fully funded for 4 or 5 years, with full employment benefits and an initial salary of 25000 SEK. The positions may include up to 20% teaching duties. More information is available at http://islab.hh.se/
Description/Requirements
All PhD theses will be in the field of data mining, machine learning and data analysis, with focus on understanding streaming time-series data and detecting deviations by comparing one individual against a group of similar, but not identical systems. The projects will entail developing novel methods and algorithms for combining information, often uncertain, coming from different sources, discovering interesting relations in the available data, evaluating their usefulness, and finally exploiting resulting algorithms to increase efficiently and reliability. The research will be performed in close collaboration with our industrial and public administration partners.
The developed methods will be applied, in various projects, to several different types of data, collected in different settings. Examples include monitoring of sterilizers for surgical equipment, operation of district heating substations in a smart grid, communication of manufacturing equipment in a factory, maintenance and operation of heat pumps, patient flow in the hospital, and more.
Goal of the research
The overall goal of the current and future research at CAISR is to investigate both data-driven and knowledge-driven methods for analysing collected information, and comparing different knowledge representations, in particular models that are general and models that build on the expert knowledge about the specifics of the domain.
Special requirements/technical experience
We are looking for a candidate who has recently received, or is expecting to finalize within a few months, a Master's degree in a relevant field such as Information Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related fields. Particular strength or experience in machine learning, data mining, computer programming or applied mathematics is very welcome.
