RESEARCH POSITION IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS
AVAILABLE AT UBILAB, UBS (UNION BANK OF SWITZERLAND), ZURICH, SWITZERLAND

The corporate IT research and innovation laboratory of Union Bank of
Switzerland, Ubilab, is looking for a research staff member in the
area of Information Systems. Ubilab pursues a small number of attractive,
highly competitive research projects, often in cooperation with other research
institutions in Switzerland and abroad. In addition, Ubilab serves the bank as
an effective IT consultant on both the strategic and tactical levels.

The available position is within Ubilab's Information Systems group. The group
is currently working on a project which has as objective to support
information gathering from heterogeneous and distributed information
sources. We are currently developing a prototype system named Bellevue which
offers full-fledged information retrieval capabilities across different types
of information sources, including relational and object-oriented databases and
WWW sites. The development of this system requires a combination of
database, information retrieval, distributed systems, knowledge-based and
decision support techniques.

Our new research staff member--ideally with a PhD--will complement and
strengthen the capabilities, skills, and expertise of existing project team
members. The successful candidate must have an adequate research and
publication record in at least one of the above mentioned fields, experience
in object-oriented software development, and a demonstrated capability in
implementing high-quality, robust systems.

Ubilab is centrally located in the down-town Zurich area and employs some
twenty researchers of various nationalities. Please refer to our World Wide
