Germany. 

The group  (www.wv.inf.tu-dresden.de/) coordinates the “European Master’s
Program in Computational Logic”  (european.computational-logic.org/)  and
manages the “International Center for Computational Logic”
(www.computational-logic.org/index.php). 
The group’s research orientation is strongly based on logic and formal methods, 
while the focus lies on the development of methods for knowledge representation 
and inference as well as on neural-symbolic integration.

The open position is for a Ph.D. Student or Post-Doc. It is available from
Aug. 1, 2008 with a duration of 3 years and the possibility of prolongation up
to 2 years. The salary is based on E13 TV-L.

systems consisting of Linux and Apple computers. 

Applicants should have an excellent diploma or master degree in computer science
or related subject (higher qualifications - e.g. Ph.D. - are also welcome),
substantial knowledge in logic-oriented Artificial Intelligence and/or related
subjects, proficiency in English, and a substantial acquaintance with German
