The CO-ODE project, an international collaboration between Stanford's PROT�G� team and Manchester and Southampton Universities' OWL and CommonKADS ontology development teams, aims to harmonise two Knowledge Representation paradigms: frames and description logics. HyOntUse, a separate project, will build on CO-ODE's harmonised platform to produce a robust end-user ontology authoring environment that will be a key part of the UK and international Semantic Web infrastructure, particularly for biomedicine. CO-ODE: we are looking for two graduate or postdoctoral candidates with experience of all stages of software development, from requirements analysis through specification, build, test and document. You should be a fast learner, as comfortable working with poorly specified problems as with those that are very well understood but highly complex. HyOntUse: one postdoctoral candidate, or a graduate with suitable experience in lieu of a PhD, is required. You should be capable of innovative research in a new area and of carrying it through to practical software. All applicants should have strong skills in software engineering and Java programming with a background which includes knowledge representation, object oriented design, and/or HCI and tool development. Working familiarity with web technologies (XML, XSLT, XML Schema, RDF, etc.) is highly desirable. The ability to work in a team and be sensitive to the controversies that inevitably arise in collaborations is essential. Knowledge of the biomedical domain would be an advantage but is not required.
