Work description
Knowledge organisation is a multifaceted area of research, that becomes more complex and rich as information infrastructure develops further and requires the creation of professional information services for the seamless connection of information resources. Researchers in the group Digital Resources and Services (
http://www.hb.se/Research/Areas/Library-and-information-science/Research-areas/Digital-resources-and-services-culture-and-information/) deal with a variety of knowledge organization issues and are eager to take this work further into areas supporting the future development of digital resources, linked data, and the semantic web. The doctoral position is part of a project requiring a broad multidisciplinary approach to research within knowledge organization. Doctoral candidates in this area will focus on the application of the following areas: information retrieval, metadata and resource description, controlled vocabularies and ontologies, linked data, and the semantic web.
A minimum of 80% of employment time within the doctoral position is devoted to research courses and dissertation work. The remaining time is used for teaching and administrative activities.
The doctoral student will be employed according to the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 5. The study time is equivalent to four years of full-time studies. The first employment period is usually one year and is renewed by one year at a time. If the position includes teaching and administrative work for the Faculty, the doctoral studies are extended to five years.
