Specifically, experienced researchers are to be recruited for the following positions:
1. Stream-based data management and mining with interest / experience in applying data mining approaches in streams of online media content (news feeds, tweets, images, videos) coming from social networking applications.

2. Complex data mining and learning with interest / experience in employing graph-based models and methodologies for tackling problems involving heterogeneous data sources of dynamic nature (e.g. photos, comments, social relations, etc.). Ideally, the candidate should also have experience in multimedia analysis and machine learning methods.
Candidates must have a PhD or Master of Science in a related field, a demonstrated record of significant research and the potential to make substantial contributions as independent investigators. They are expected to lead relevant research activities (for PhD holders), develop new research ideas and to interact with the multidisciplinary research environment of the host research team.
