Dear Wikidatans,

We are currently looking to fill two 100%-funded researcher positions in the field of knowledge representation, AI, and data analysis. This might be of interest to some of you, or to someone you know:

https://iccl.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Jobs/en

Applicants should have (or be about to finish) a very good MSc degree or equivalent in computer science or a related field (esp. mathematics). Knowledge of Wikidata and related technologies is a plus but not a requirement. Postdocs can also apply if their research is related to the project.

Our research group is international, with English as the main language in everyday work. The positions are part of a major collaborative research project that aims at improving human understanding of software systems, and which is starting just now; see https://www.perspicuous-computing.science/ We aim to further increase the share of female researchers in our team, so we'd like to encourage women to apply [1].

I am happy to answer informal questions by email. The application deadline is quite soon but it can (and probably will) be extended until the positions are filled. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you know who might be interested.

Cheers,

Markus
