The database and information systems group is looking for students with a strong background in database systems (including
database design, database theory, query processing, and transaction
management), information systems (e.g., Web-based information
systems, service oriented architectures), and data mining/KDD. Prospective students should have completed coursework in the
areas of database systems, operating systems, programming language,
software engineering, and courses in mathematics. We are primarily interested
in students who are seeking a PhD
degree
and
have successfully completed a M.Sc. in Computer Science. Background
in areas such as geology, cartography, climatology,
physics, bioinformatics, or computational sciences is very welcome
as many of our current projects are conducted in these areas! Please
also take a
look at the research
areas.
For more specific information, please contact Dr. Michael Gertz, Dr. Bertram Ludäscher, or Dr. Ian Davidson.
We strongly prefer PDF files or plain text when you send email
attachements. We are in particular interested in your background,
courses you have taken (including grades), and projects you have
worked on.
Please also note that at this point in time, we can
not make any statements about how many positions for research
assistants we will have starting Fall 2008, or whether you might be
exactly the right student to join the database and information systems
group. This all depends on the number and qualification of applicants,
and the funding available at that time.
