[AISWorld] Vacancy: PhD working on Process Mining in PriCE project at TU/e

[Aalst, W.M.P. van der]

The Architecture of Information Systems (AIS) of the Department
of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technische Universiteit
Eindhoven (TU/e) is looking for a

*****           PhD working on Process Mining Techniques            *****
*****   in the Privacy Compliance and Enforcement (PriCE) project   *****


Electronic data that are increasingly generated and used in our society
(e.g., electronic health records, financial data, demographic data used
in eGoverment) need to be protected. The EU data protection legislation
imposes very stringent requirements on the collection, processing and
disclosure of personal data, and empowers users to control the
access/usage of their data. In the project AIS will collaborate with the
Security (SEC) group at TU/e. In the PriCE project we aim to develop
innovative privacy compliance and enforcement techniques based on
cross-fertilizations between security and process mining.

The AIS group is one of the leading groups in BPM working on exciting new
techniques such as process mining (www.processmining.org), process
configuration, and BPM technology. The work resulted in the development
of the ProM framework that is widely used in industry and serves as
a platform for new process mining techniques used by research groups
all over the globe. ProM and related research will be used as a starting
point.

The Privacy Compliance and Enforcement (PriCE) project will employ two
PhD candidates (one on security and one on process mining) that will
collaborate while being supported by several staff members from both
groups. The PriCE project is part of NWO's Cyber Security program which
focuses on the development of products, services and knowledge for the
security of the digital society. It is part of the Dutch Government's
National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS). It is aimed at combatting
potential cyber disturbances for citizens, industry and government in the
Netherlands.


The PhD focusing on process mining techniques for security will be
working in the AIS group under the supervision of prof.dr. Wil van der
Aalst. The Architecture of Information Systems group is doing research in
the area of process modeling and analysis. The group is rated as one of
the leading computer science groups in the Netherlands and TU/e often
seen as the epicenter of BPM and process mining research. The group uses
formal methods such as Petri nets to design, analyze, and implement
dynamic systems. The group is well-versed in workflow management, process
mining, and process verification. See www.workflowpatterns.com,
www.workflowcourse.com, www.processmining.org, www.yawl-system.com,
www.win.tue.nl/ais/, www.wvdaalst.com, and www.tue.nl for more
information.


Requirements:

We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:
- a solid background in Computer Science and interested in
process mining;
- knowledge of data mining and machine learning and/or process modeling
and formal methods;
- good communicative skills in English, both in speaking and in writing;
- moreover, candidates are expected to realize research ideas in terms of software.

Note that we are looking for candidates that really want to make a difference
and like to work on things that have a practical relevance. Therefore, we expect
people to be able to develop software in such a way that it can be used
in industrial settings.

Appointment and salary:

See http://w3.tue.nl/en/services/dpo/conditions_of_employment/tue_conditions_of_employment/
for more information on working at TU/e, salary, etc.


Application:
Interested candidates are requested to send an application by e-mail
to Ine van der Ligt (e-mail: wsinfsys at tue.nl) with the subject field
"PhD Vacancy in PriCE".

The application should consist of the following parts:
- motivational letter;
- a curriculum vitae;
- copies of diplomas;
- proof of English language skills (if applicable).

Applications should be received by June 15th. 2013.
