the European Digital Library (Europeana) as a truly interoperable,

The ideal candidate holds a MS degree in Computer Science or related
field and is able to consider both theoretical and practical/
implementation aspects in her/his work. Fluent english communication

- semantic technologies (RDF, SKOS, etc)
- metadata management
- multimedia computing
The position starts as soon as possible and is full-time (40h/week)
for the duration of the project until Oct 2011.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until
the position is filled. The successful candidate will tightly work
with international partners and has the possibility to pursue PhD work
within the scope of the project.
We invite interested applicants to send their resume including a
pointer to their previous / current work and publications to <[email protected]
