Postdoctoral position in spatial modelling and reasoning, Lausanne (Switzerland)

In the context of a project on environmental sensing, the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL) is developing new techniques for modeling atmospheric phenomena based on spatial reasoning techniques. The goal is to be able to replace numerical models by more efficient qualitative models that can be used to compress and clean the sensor data. The project is currently approved until March, 2013 and might be extended beyond that date.

We have an opening for a post-doctoral researcher to work on this project. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in computer science or a closely related field, experience with spatial modeling and reasoning, for example in the context of GIS or AI, and possibly also experience with numerical simulation models. The position is open immediately.

Interested candidates should contact boi.faltings at epfl.ch. For more information, see http://liawww.epfl.ch/.
