SPIRIT is a 36-month EU funded partner project investigating the
applications of geographical information systems (GIS) to enhance
text-based information retrieval (IR) systems. Sheffield's part in the
project is to adapt an existing text retrieval system to search a 1Tb Web
collection using a cluster of co-ordinated Unix/Linux machines (probably a
Beowulf cluster); find means of evaluating the accuracy of the searching
system; and integrate GIS information into the text searching system. The
successful candidate should have either a postgraduate degree with
experience in GIS or IR; strong undergraduate students with a Computer
Science degree interested in pursuing a PhD should also apply.
