Cultural-heritage collections are typically indexed with meta-data derived from a range of different vocabularies, while access usually requires the combination of information from various data sources. The STITCH project aims at developing theory, methods and tools for allowing meta-data interoperability through semantic links. It is problem-driven, and its deliverables comprise the full research cycle from theory to the development of relevant tools.
The Koninklijke Bibliotheek, the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the Vrije Universiteit search for a PostDoc or a PhD student to work within the STITCH project. Excellent knowledge in a relevant research area is expected (e.g. in Knowledge Representation or related subfields of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science). The candidate has to be able to work on finding generic solutions, and to apply these solutions to concrete problems within the participating cultural heritage institution. For PhD candidates, a degree in a relevant field of Artificial Intelligence or related fields of Computer Science is required, for PostDoc candidates, a Ph.D. in a relevant field of Artificial Intelligence or related fields of Computer Science, and scientific experience proven by international peer-reviewed publications. Previous experience with Digital Library science would be considered an advantage. For both positions the ability to collaborate in a team is essential.
