Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary qualifications in order to fill one (1) part-time Research Fellow position (Postdoctoral Researcher) at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Informatics in the field of “Data-driven Modeling of the Maritime Environment”, funded under the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation Programme “Maritime Cognitive Decision Support System”.
The successful applicant will be responsible for developing data-driven models of human and natural environment activity based on real-time maritime data. These can involve simple tasks like measuring the sea pollution or counting the fishing stock, to more complex machine-learning models such as predicting the effect of sea pollution on the fishing stock, or computing sea surface currents and using these to predict the ship’s estimated time of arrival and the spreading of oil spills. The goal is to both provide a realistic representation of the maritime environment and efficiently utilize agile information acquisition to deliver greater levels of situational awareness and improved decision-making.
The postdoc is also expected to work seamlessly with the other partners participating in the programme towards the preparation of deliverables according to the deadlines as set by the programme. The selected applicant should also be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills, as well as good knowledge of information processing, machine learning, and environmental monitoring. Most importantly, the selected applicant is expected to be able to produce high-caliber research output.
Applicants should have:
The following will be considered as an advantage:
