Professor in Knowledge Media: Help us shape the future
(Full-time Permanent Post - Vacancy ID: 2071)
This is a permanent appointment as Professor in the Open University's
Knowledge Media Institute (KMi), a 59-strong interdisciplinary
laboratory founded in 1995, and located in attractive offices at The
Open University's main campus in Milton Keynes, UK. KMi undertakes
high-profile advanced research and development in Knowledge Media: a
convergence of knowledge technologies, ontological engineering,
artificial intelligence, new media technologies for learners, human
computer interaction, and cognitive science. KMi is one of the top
research centres in the world in the area of knowledge and media
technologies and we offer a creative and flexible working environment
unlike any other in Europe. The style, impact and content of our work
are described in detail in our Web pages at http://kmi.open.ac.uk/.
This post is intended to consolidate KMi's international research
reputation and contribute to the overall profile of the OU's new Centre
for Research in Computing, created as a partnership between KMi and the
Department of Computing. Applicants should be leading personalities of
high international standing in knowledge media, computer science,
cognitive science, or human-computer interaction. It is essential that
candidates can demonstrate a track record of leading innovative
research projects, publishing widely, and obtaining substantial
research income from external funding agencies and industrial sponsors.
Ideally, candidates should be prominent authorities in
cross-disciplinary research in knowledge media ranging from semantic
technologies to new media solutions for learners. Given the 'hands-on'
ethos of the Knowledge Media Institute, candidates should also be able
to demonstrate evidence of having deployed real technologies, in real
contexts, for real users; a hallmark of most KMi activities.
We are particularly interested in strengthening our research profile in
one of the following areas (but will be open to strategic guidance from
strong candidates regarding other related areas): semantic multimedia,
smart devices, language technologies, semantic web, presence, social
software, and hypermedia.
The appointment will be made on the Professorial Grade, starting on a
scale at a minimum of £44,947 p.a. This is a full-time permanent post
