Research Fellow @ RMIT


Position: Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Research Topic: Improving web search using structured and unstructured
geospatial information
Award/Salary: Academic Level B
Remuneration: $82,465 - $97,929 p.a + 17% superannuation
Work type: Full time - Fixed term/Contract
Full-time, 2 Year Fixed Term position
Commencement Date: Flexible -- Sometime in 2015.

RMIT University's School of Computer Science and IT (CSIT) is seeking
a Postdoctoral Researcher. The position is funded the Australian
Research Council and will support the research aims of indexing and
retrieval of ad-hoc geospatial keyword queries. Experience in
information retrieval and/or geospatial indexing in addition to an
interest in one or more of the following: query optimization, data
compression, algorithm engineering, machine learning, or natural
language processing should be demonstrated.

Previous experience with software development for large projects is
essential, and should show evidence of both research and software
development skills. The appointee will work with Professor Timos
Sellis and Dr. Shane Culpepper on the development and evaluation of
algorithms to support efficient and effective ad-hoc search using
structured and unstructured geospatial information. The appointee will
help develop novel indexing and query techniques using space-efficient
data structures, and create new ranking algorithms capable of
supporting very large, heterogeneous data sets. The appointee will
also design and carry out experiments to test the performance and
computational demands of competing algorithms.

As the successful candidate, you will hold a tertiary qualification in
Computer Science or a similar discipline. A PhD in Computer Science
and appropriate research background evidenced by publications are
desirable. A demonstrated ability to work as a member of a team,
coupled with exceptional written and interpersonal communication
skills will also ensure your success in this role.

For confidential queries please contact Professor Timos Sellis
(timos.sellis@rmit.edu.au) or Shane Culpepper

30 July 2015. Applicants are requested to separately address the
key selection criteria as outlined in the Position Description. For
