> We are seeking a research associate to work on a number of problems associated
> with the representation and capture of evolving data. The ideal person will
> have both theoretical and practical knowledge of databases and of data on the

> linked data. The Database Group at the University of Edinburgh leads research
> into provenance and related topics such as archiving, annotation and citation
> of evolving data. While there has been substantial progress on these topics
> for traditional databases (relational and hierarchical), dealing with linked
> open data presents new research challenges. The ideal candidate will have a
> strong background in both theory and implementation, and will have some
> knowledge of database and Web technology. The post is being funded as part of
> the EU DIACHRON project and is available from 1 September 2013 for 24 months
