The Reasoning and Querying Unit at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) of the National University of Ireland, Galway invites applications for a Research Assistant, Masters or PhD fellowship position in the area of Semantic Web technologies for Content

 Management Systems. DERI, a leading research institute in semantic technologies,

The DERI Unit for Reasoning and Querying focuses on improving the scalability and investigating the adequacy of traditional reasoning and query answering techniques for the Web,! where several classical assumptions no longer hold as data is heterogeneous,

 distributed, possibly incomplete or contradictory, structured in different levels
 of granularity, varying in levels of trust and accessible only by following 

implicit or explicit security policies. Research is performed in collaboration

 with other DERI units and industrial partners.
