position on the design and development of ontology-based data access<br>systems. The position is financed by the IP project Optique -<br>scalable end-user access to big data (<a href="http://www.optique-project.eu">www.optique-project.eu</a>), within<br>
the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), and concerns, in particular,<br>the design and implementation of ontology and mapping management<br>functionalities of ontology-based data access systems.</div><div> </div><div>Preference will be given to candidates that hold (or that are about to<br>
finish) a Ph.D. in computer science, and have a background in OWL,<br>ontology reasoning, RDF, and relational databases. Significant<br>experience and skill in software development is a strict requirement<br>for the position.</div>
<div> </div><div>The Optique project provides challenging industrial use cases<br>involving big data: the position will give the candidate the<br>possibility of applying her/his research within such use cases.<br>Although design and implementation is the main focus of the position,<br>
the candidate will have the possibility to conduct resarch within the<br>Database and Knowledge Representation research group of DIAG, which is<br>one of the best known research groups in Description Logics (DLs),<br>data integration, service/process composition and integration, and<br>
reasoning about actions. Furthermore, some of its members are<br>considered among the founders of the research in the area of DLs,<br>which is currently considered of crucial importance for the<br>development of the Semantic Web and semantic-oriented technologies.</div>
<div> </div><div>The position will start in the second half of 2013, and has an initial<br>duration of one year, with the possibility of extension up to two<br>years.</div><div> </div><div>Interested applicants should contact Prof. Riccardo Rosati<br>
