We offer you:

- A stimulating research environment in an expanding group.

The Laboratory of Web and Information Technologies (WIT) is a young
but fast-growing research group which does cutting-edge research in
data management systems and business intelligence, both in classical
settings (e.g., relational databases, data warehouses), as well as
the context of Big Data and data on the Web. The WIT lab is hosted
in the Engineering school of the Université Libre de Bruxelles
(ULB), one of the leading French-speaking universities in the world.

The group coordinates the EU-funded Erasmus Mundus Master and
Doctoral Programmes on Information Technologies for Business
Intelligence, and has, as such, an expanding number of master
students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers.

- The possibility to supervise PhD students; to gain teaching
experience; and to set up new research projects.

- An interesting city to work in. The ULB is located in Brussels,
Belgium --- the Capital of Europe. Bustling with activity and
undeniably multilingual, Brussels offers both the advantages of a
culturally rich capital and the comforts of a friendly, accessible,
city. Accommodation is reasonably priced compared to Paris or
London, and the city boasts an extensive public transport
network. It is home to the offices of the European Union and NATO
and innumerable multinational companies, and is also at the heart of
Belgium’s economic, political and cultural life. Located 1 hour 25
minutes from Paris, 1 hour 30 minutes from Amsterdam and 1 hour 51
from London, Brussels offers all the advantages of a cosmopolitan
city on a human scale. In this green city, a true crossroads and
place of exchange, where the cuisine and music of the whole world
meet and mix, culture enthusiasts will have almost too much choice
in terms of music and cinema festivals, Brussels overflows with
museums, concert halls and theatres.
