The Knowledge Technology (KT) group in the Department of Computing
Science at the University of Aberdeen is one of the key players in
the area of semantics and ontology technologies with excellent
balance between theoretical work and pragmatic applications.

The KT group offers a friendly yet stimulating environment of a
leading research group in the field of semantics and ontology; an

standardisation bodies such as the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C).

The KT group is looking for a PostDoc researcher who is willing to
continue their existing field of research within one of our new
projects. The goal of the project is to improve software
engineering by leveraging ontology and reasoning technology. To
reach this goal, it will develop a seamless integration technology
for ontologies into model-driven software development (MDSD),
resulting in ontology-driven software development (ODSD). The
PostDoc researcher is expected to lead the ontology and reasoning
work package in the project. The project will run for 3 years
starting in February 2008. The salary of the post will be 27,857
