The Research School of Computer Science at the Australian National
University in collaboration with Data61 of the Commonwealth Scientific
and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is seeking up to two highly
motivated and dedicated PhD candidates to work on challenging,
innovative, and interdisciplinary research projects at the intersection
of Linked Data, ontology engineering, the Internet-of-Things and
Augmented Reality.
The PhD will address requirements in discovering and managing data
originating in the growing Internet-of-Things, while taking advantage of
Augmented Reality to interact with such environments. The issues to be
addressed are in identifying and assessing sensor data, using Web
technologies, and managing its integration through ontologies while
allowing for real-time search.
Candidate Profile
-----------------
Candidates should meet the following requirements:
- A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems or a closely related
field from a world class university, or a highly regarded university in
your country with academic success in the top 5% of your class, or in
the top 10% of your class with substantial research experience and
academic referees willing to strongly support your application.
- Excellent Programming skills in languages such as Java, Python and
JavaScript;
- Strong formal background (mathematics, logic, etc.);
- Familiarity with real time 3D graphics and/or computer vision;
- Knowledge and experience within the fields of the semantic Web, Web
services (REST), cloud computing, data modelling, data engineering, and
development skills will be highly regarded;
- Data science programming skills, such as R, MapReduce/Hadoop/SPARK,
HIVE, NoSQL, and, JSON are a bonus;
Candidates should be able to work in a collaborative, multi-cultural
