[Appointment period will end on 30 June 2025]


Research Associate (Ref. No.: CAiRS- R20/P5.3 - Data visualization and modeling for processes, products and systems)
[Appointment period will end on 30 June 2025]


Duties

The appointees will report to the Project Leader and the Centre Director or his delegate (currently Programme Manager) and perform research and related work in the development of innovative methods for representation of multi-dimensional data and images, in order to facilitate interpretation, modeling, expert checking of validity, and educational use.

The Postdoctoral Fellow appointee will be required to:

  1. convert/conceptualize industrial pain point/motivation to a good structure AI (machine learning/deep learning/reinforcement learning) reliability and safety research associated with the latest technologies such as cloud, 5G, IoT...etc.

  2.  work with talents from industrial collaboratorsand other internal researchers on the research subject matter with project proposal, tests, project report, and communicate internally and externally the research plan;

  3. Leverage and share research expertise and skills on a daily teamwork basis. Has genuine interest in AI (machine/deep learning) technology;

  4. prepare and publish relevant research papers in high-tier peer-reviewed journals; and

  5. perform any other duties as assigned by the Centre Director or his delegates.


The Research Associate appointee will be required to:

  1. plan industrial pain point/motivation to a good structure AI research;

  2. team up with a group of postdoctoral researchers with specific expertise to implement the research work and experiment;

  3. drive to reach the reliability and safety objectives within scheduled timeline;

  4. report project work issues and support devising of project proposal and report; and
  5.  perform any other duties as assigned by the Centre Director or his delegates.
