Ireland: MSc / PhD Studentships at the Centre for Digital Video Processing (CDVP), Dublin City University

The CDVP is seeking a MSc/PhD research student to join the "iCLIPS: Integrating Context through Annotation and Linking in Information Retrieval for Personal Information Archives" project.

Developments in digital data capture and storage mean that it will soon be possible to archive one's entire life experiences in personal information archives, or human digital memories (HDMs). Current search engines for the World Wide Web output document lists ranked by combining measures based on the Web's link structure and a match between document contents and search requests. The absence of links and lower quality of HDM document contents means that enhanced information retrieval methods are required to enable effective searching and location of interesting and useful material from within these archives. iCLIPs is concerned with the development of novel search methods for these collections. The project requires study of both information retrieval algorithms and the exploration and modelling of relevant human memory processes in order to facilitate the design of retrieval methods which support user needs.

Candidates for this position should have a first or upper second degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline such as computing science or cognitive science with an interest in information retrieval, human-computer interaction or memory studies.

This studentship is fully funded by Science Foundation Ireland. The position is available immediately and the successful applicant would be expected to take up the position before 1st October 2007.

The CDVP is a very active group conducting research into a wide variety of search and information management technologies. Full details can be found at: www.cdvp.dcu.ie.

Interested candidates should forward a current CV with names of two referees and a short note describing their interest in joining the iCLIPS project, via email to the project investigator Dr Gareth Jones ( Gareth.Jones@computing.dcu.ie). Informal enquiries are also welcome.

Closing date for receipt of completed applications: 15th July 2007.
