<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">JRC's Contraffic technology for container monitoring and route-based risk analysis requires R&D in data</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">analysis and data mining for very large sets of container shipments data. While such work at present</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">aims at the provision of signals and risk indicators, we wish to <u>develop further the data exploration</u></span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><u>dimension</u>. </span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The successful candidate will contribute to the further development of the Contraffic technology</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">by developing and testing data mining and data visualization prototypes, featuring interactive tools for</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">both raw data and analysis results, possibly complemented with GIS views. The longer term goal of</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">this team effort is to develop, in collaboration with customs and security authorities, advanced tools to</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">help control the flow of cargo containers through risk analysis.</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">In addition to software prototypes, the grantholder will be expected to co-author technical reports, technical</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">documentation and scientific publications as a result. He or she may also be called to contribute to</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:18pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="blue"><span style="font-size:12pt;">collaborative research projects addressing issues related to securing the containerized supply chain.</span></font></div>
