Connectionists: Positions in Data Mining/Machine Learning at the IBM Research Ireland laboratory.

[Carlos Alzate]

 The Smarter Cities Technology Centre (SCTC) at the IBM Dublin Research Laboratory, Ireland is accepting applications for full-time 
 researchers from entry-level through principal investigators. We are hiring researchers in data management, statistical analysis,  
 predictive modeling, data mining and machine learning. We are especially interested in candidates with strong experience in        
 working with real-world data, and/or with a solid knowledge of systems and software for dealing with huge amounts of data          
 (Terrabytes and more). Experience with data management and analysis in the context of Smarter Cities (transportation and mobility  
 services, smart grids, intelligent building, water management) is an additional asset.                                             
                                                                                                                                    
 Projects will involve identifying applications of data-intensive machine learning, invention of effective algorithms for these     
 applications, and incorporation of these algorithms in distributed and parallel software systems. The successful candidate will    
 have demonstrated ability to define research plans, carry out leading research, and publish research results through professional  
 journals, academic conferences, and patents. As a researcher you will be expected to organize challenging problems, develop new    
 solutions, and work with business & development teams to ensure these solutions have a significant impact.                         
                                                                                                                                    
 The Smarter Cities Technology Centre is part of IBM Research and was created to take on the challenges of our increasingly         
 urbanized world. We are an R&D organization that works closely with city authorities, universities, and businesses to advance      
 science & technology for smarter urban and environmental systems. We aim to expand our highly skilled and cross-disciplinary team  
 to as many as 200 researchers and software engineers. Areas we currently focus on include: data mining and machine learning;       
 statistical modeling & organization, control and decision systems, social, semantic web; distributed information systems;          
 knowledge & data engineering, geospatial analysis and organization simulation, real-time computing, and urban and environmental    
 systems, e.g., water, energy, transportation.
