2 PhD Research Positions at L3S, Hannover, Germany

           Ph.D. Positions at L3S Research Center, Germany
           ===============================================

The L3S Research Center, Hannover, Germany, invites applications for

                     two Ph.D. research positions

in the area of Temporal Retrieval, Exploration and Analytics in Web
Archives, in the context of my ERC Advanced Grant ALEXANDRIA,
http://www.alexandria-project.eu/.

Within ALEXANDRIA, we will significantly advance semantic and
time-based indexing for Web archives using human-compiled knowledge
available on the Web, to efficiently index, retrieve and explore
information about entities and events from the past. In doing so, we
will focus on the concurrent evolution of this knowledge and the Web
content to be indexed, and take into account diversity and
incompleteness of this knowledge. We will further investigate mixed
crowd- and machine-based Web analytics to support long-running and
collaborative retrieval and analysis processes on Web archives.

ERC Advanced Grants allow exceptional established research leaders to
pursue ground-breaking, high-risk projects that open new directions in
their respective research fields or other domains, and thus provide an
optimal environment for challenging and unique research for PhD
students and PostDoc researchers.

You should possess very good knowledge in one or several areas
relevant for the topics specified in this announcement. Good
proficiency in English is expected, as well as an outstanding M.Sc.
in computer science. German language skills are useful, but not
mandatory.  International experience during your studies or
afterwards, as well as good social and communication skills are
helpful.

The salary amounts to German TV-L E13, which is roughly 40.000 to
45.000 Euro gross income per year.

Please submit your application including the usual documents as well
as a list of references, preferrably by email, to
