The appointment will be in the School of Computer Science at the
University of Manchester to work on EPSRC IAA Project "Comparison
and Abstraction of SNOMED CT Ontologies". The project aims to
apply knowledge and tools developed from previous research for
tracking the changes between different versions of an ontology
and forgetting some terms from an ontology thereby computing an
abstraction of it. The focus of the project will be a trial on a
core subset of the SNOMED CT medical ontology in order to address
content related quality issues.

You will be working with Dr Renate Schmidt in the Formal Methods
Group and contacts at IHTSDO/SNOMED International. The School of
Computer Science is among the largest in the UK, and has research
and teaching profiles that are both broad and deep, reflecting
critical mass both in core areas of the discipline and more
specialised areas. It was ranked 4th in overall GPA in REF 2014
and equal 1st for the quality of the research environment.
