BT Senior Research Fellowship
The Intelligent Systems Research (ISR) group of British
Telecommunications (BT) plc is currently seeking applications for two
senior research fellowship positions over a four-year period within
ISR's R&D programmes to be based at the University of California at
Berkeley. The positions are suitable for candidates who have
demonstrated an excellent track record in soft computing and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and their applications in the telecommunications
area. Successful candidates will be required to identify and develop
new techniques based on soft computing and AI technology, and novel
applications in current and emerging information and communications
technology (ICT) areas including intelligent information management,
knowledge-based reasoning, automated advanced customer support, and
data analysis. The candidates will be required to travel and spend
time with the research teams at BT's Adastral Park (UK) and give
presentations to senior technical and business managers. The positions
are available immediately.
BT's Research and Venturing (R&V) group based at Adastral Park is an
internationally known research organisation which conducts short,
medium and long term R&D for BT in a diverse range of topics such as
network technologies and AI. ISR is a part of BT's R&V group which
aims to research and develop novel intelligent software systems and
technologies in order to: i) radically improve the way BT operates and
employs its resources, and ii) technologically enable the provision and
management of future broadband networks and services. The group
currently collaborates with a number of UK and international
universities such as UC Berkeley, MIT and Imperial College on R&D
projects to stimulate research in particular areas of interest to BT
and participate in state of the art research projects.
British Telecommunications plc is one of the world's leading providers
of telecommunications services. With a market capitalisation of around
70 billion pounds, it is one of the largest private sector companies in
Europe, with rapidly expanding operations in more than 30 countries
worldwide.
Candidate Requirements
Successful candidates will have an earned PhD in Computer Science or
related field, with demonstrated research expertise and/or industrial
experience in soft computing/AI. Additional qualifications include
experience in the application of knowledge representation, machine
learning, and intelligent reasoning to processing complex media (e.g.
natural language text and images). Combined theoretical and software
engineering expertise for development of research prototypes, good oral
and written communication capabilities, and excellent
publication/patent record are also considered essential criteria.
Project management or supervision experience and good knowledge of ICT
area are desirable.
A technical committee will select the suitable candidates for formal
interviews. Please send your CV by mail, fax or email to either:
