The Computing Department at the Open University is looking for a
Research Associate in the areas of Context and Behaviour Prediction.
The post is available in the EU-funded GAMBAS project. The main
objective of GAMBAS is to develop fundamental technologies for
context-aware, behaviour-driven services for innovative public
transportation applications.

The post holder will conduct internationally-leading research in
algorithms and systems for context and behaviour prediction.  You will
use an experimental systems approach to develop and evaluate location
and behaviour prediction algorithms, and build system infrastructures
for collection and processing of movement and behaviour data.

The post holder will be expected to develop proposals for individual
or joint research and contribute to writing bids for research funding.

To apply you must hold a first degree in the areas of computer
science, human-computer interaction, electronic engineering,
mathematics or a related discipline, and a PhD relevant to the
research area or equivalent qualifications. Also, you should have
demonstrated your research competence through high-quality
publications in top conferences in the area of mobile computing,
pervasive computing, human-computer interaction and/or machine
learning. Strong practical software development skills are required
for both posts.

Informal enquiries may be made to Prof Gerd Kortuem
(http://www.kortuem.com) at the Ubiquitous Computing and
Sustainability Lab, Department of Computing, The Open University.

Closing date: noon on 7 June 2012.
