A joint project between the National University of Ireland in Galway (NUI Galway) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD) provides funding for a post-doctoral researcher at NUI Galway and two PhD students, one at Galway and one at TCD. The project will run for three years and the funding for these positions is available for the duration of the project.

The research work is in the area of machine learning and will concentrate on the development of practical applications of one-sided classifier techniques. The postdoc should have a PhD in the general area of machine learning; previous experience with one-class classifiers or support vector machines would be and advantage. Candidates for the research student positions should have an honours degree in Computer Science or closely related discipline. Project experience in machine learning would be of benefit.

Further details of the research work are available from Padraig Cunningham in TCD or Dr. Michael Madden at NUI Galway. The closing date for applications is 11th Feb 2006.
