PhD and Postdoc Positions on Intelligent Handling of Imperfect Data, Bordeaux (France)

One 2-year postdoctoral position and two 3-year PhD positions are available at the LaBRI computer science laboratory in Bordeaux, France. Successful applicants will take part in the "Intelligent Handling of Imperfect Data" (INTENDED) AI Chair project (2020-2025), whose aim is to develop principled methods for handling inconsistent, incomplete, and/or uncertain data. The project brings together experts on logic-based knowledge representation and reasoning, database theory, and medical informatics to explore how to exploit formally represented knowledge (constraints, ontologies) and logical reasoning to holistically tackle a range of data quality issues. While there is some flexibility on the exact starting dates, the PhD positions should start no later than October 1, 2022, and can be optionally preceded by a 4-6 month funded internship (starting February / March 2022). Interested candidates are encouraged to get in touch as soon as possible for full consideration.
