Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 10:37:28 -0500 From: Dennis Egan egan@research.bellcore.com Subject: Morristown, NJ: Director, Data Mining Research, Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) The Information and Computer Sciences Research Laboratory of Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore) is seeking to expand its statistics and data mining research group to include applied research on novel and insightful ways to extract value from Web-based data. This new kind of data is becoming available as people seek information, order products, provision their own services, and interact with customer service centers on the Web. Telcordia Technolgies seeks a director-level scientist to recruit group members, direct technical work, and manage interactions with internal customers and external customers for the research. While the director is expected to develop a specific research agenda, the general areas of work include all aspects of data mining, data analysis, data warehousing, and decision support services. The group's charter includes novel approaches to data collection, data extraction, data cleaning and validation, data modeling, data warehousing, data analysis, and data visualization. The ultimate goal of the work is to improve marketing, sales, customer service and engineering functions in communications companies and other vertical industries. Of particular interest is research that leads to insightful ways to combine the new Web-based data with "legacy" data collected in communications systems and networks. The Information and Computer Sciences Research Laboratory is located at Telcordia Technogies' corporate headquarters in Morristown, a suburban New Jersey location within easy reach of New York City and several major universities. The Laboratory consists of approximately 140 researchers, a majority of whom hold advanced degrees in computer science and related disciplines including statistics, behavioral science, operations research, and mathematics. Collegial interdisciplinary interaction within the Laboratory and with university groups is strongly encouraged, as is interaction with Bellcore business units. The Laboratory provides an unusual opportunity for people attracted to work on technically demanding problems whose solutions have direct, real-world application. Candidates should have a strong record of technical accomplishments as evidenced by publications, leadership in technical and academic communities, and research management. The candidate will be expected to articulate a research vision, structure a research program, and recruit additional junior-level and senior-level researchers. Telcordia Technologies is a leading provider of software products, professional services, training, and applied research to the communications industry. Telcordia Technologies has approximately 6,000 employees located primarily on several campuses in New Jersey. For further information about this position, please write to Dennis E. Egan, Chief Scientist and Chair, Recruiting Committee, Information Analysis & Services Research Dept Telcordia Technologies 445 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960 egan@research.bellcore.com or phone (973) 829-3106
