We are looking for young top quality experts in software development

advanced metadata management and on its integration with the network
middleware.  Key words describing the research area of interest are:
semantic file system, metadata management, peer-to-peer systems,

  theory and algorithms, natural language processing, reasoning) is a
  strong plus

- knowledge of PostgreSQL is a plus
- knowledge of Lucene is a plus

Position 2 (R&D area manager)

- theoretical and practical experience in semantic technologies (e.g.,
  relevant background is: natural language processing, metadata
  management, knowledge representation and management, RDF)

  relational and/or noSQL databases

The ideal candidate for a position should have a proven track record of
research, system design and development in some or in all the areas
mentioned above. (S)he should be proactive, self-motivated, able to work

technology transfer projects in collaboration with a high tech start-up
will constitute a plus. Knowledge of Italian is not needed.

multicultural and multidisciplinary group, which is part of the
department of Information Engineering and Computer Science
(http://disi.unitn.it).

The department is a leading and fast-growing research institution,
characterized by a young and international faculty and a large,
international student population. Indicators for scientific production
put the department among the very top in Europe. The successful
candidate will therefore have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and
exciting environment.

Trento (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trento) is a small vibrant city
(around 100K people), with a beautifully preserved historic center,
