Faculty of Informatics
Intelligent Digital MultiMedia Interfaces
The University of Ulster invites applicants for the above full-time
Research Studentship to be situated at the Magee College campus and held
within the MultiMedia Systems and Artificial Intelligence research groups
of the Faculty of Informatics. The focus of the research will be to
investigate the integration of the computational processing of digital
multimedia (e.g. spoken dialogue, natural language and visual advanced
interfaces) incorporating the modelling of emotions and automated
storytelling with application to e.g. intelligent web-browsing and medical
informatics.
The studentship consists of an annual maintenance allowance of 10,000
pounds and payment of fees for up to three years. The successful candidate
will be registered on a programme of study leading, subject to
satisfactory progress, to the award of the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy. Applicants should hold a minimum of an upper second Bachelor's
and/or Master's degree in intelligent digital multimedia, computer
science, cognitive science or a related subject and have good experience
in, and be prepared for, computer programming, scientific experimentation
and the use of existing software tools.

Faculty of Engineering
Intelligent Systems
Applications are invited for a full-time research studentship, to
investigate the application of intelligent systems technology in
bionics. The research project is specifically concerned with the
application of intelligent techniques and evolvable hardware to the design
of self-adaptive medical prosthetics. The project will be supervised by
Professor Martin McGinnity and Dr. Liam Maguire, and will involve
collaboration with medical practitioners.
The student will be based in the Intelligent Systems Engineering
Laboratory, in the Faculty of Engineering on the Magee campus of the
University. The laboratory is currently the base for 16 researchers
engaged in a range of projects in the general area of intelligent
systems. Further information is
available at http://isel.scim.ulst.ac.uk. The studentship consists of an
annual maintenance allowance of 10,000 pounds and payment of fees for up
to three years.
The successful candidate will be registered on a programme of study
leading, subject to satisfactory progress, to the award of the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy. Interested applicants may arrange to visit the
laboratory by telephoning for an appointment (tel + 44 028-71375616).
Applicants should hold a minimum of an upper second class honours degree
in electronics, computing or closely related discipline. Preference may be
given to candidates with first class degrees or a postgraduate
qualification.
