TWO RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSTS

EU Framework V funded project: Intelligent Support for People Orientated Business Process Re-engineering (INSPIRE)

30 months fixed-term

We wish to appoint two Research Associates to our European Union Framework V funded project on Intelligent Support for Business Process Re-engineering. INSPIRE is a collaborative project between Goldsmiths College, University of London and a number of European companies.

INSPIRE aims to apply techniques of representation and reasoning to the problem of business process re-engineering (BPR) to create a system that allows process views, automatic workflow generation, dynamic simulation and quantitative performance indicators, into which will be built a number of innovative features designed to render the BPR process accessible to non-experts and to support the implementation of re-designed processes.

You will have graduate level qualifications (or equivalent) in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence (a PhD would be an advantage), together with good programming skills, and have the potential for research in formal representations and natural language interfaces.

Salary is on spine point 6 of the Research 1A scale; £20,319 per annum (inclusive of £2,134 per annum London Weighting Allowance) subject to qualifications and experiece.
