Post-doctoral positions, Intel Collaborative Research Institute on Sustainable Connected Cities
Harvey Miller
Intel Collaborative Research Institute on Sustainable Connected Cities (ISRI-SCC)
Fixed Term appointments for up to 3 years starting as soon as possible
Salary in the range: £32,100 - £40,720 per annum
Research Assistant (pre-doctoral) level will be considered for candidates with relevant research experience. Research Assistants will be appointed on a lower salary scale.
With 6.3 billion people expected to dwell in cities by 2050, the aim of the ISRI-SCC is to create and realize a compelling vision of a sustainable future made possible by adaptive technologies that optimize resource efficiency, enable new services and support the quality of life of urban inhabitants. The ISRI-SCC is led by Julie McCann at Imperial College London in partnership with UCL.
We are currently recruiting for 3 positions at post-doctoral level. The purpose of the project is to find solutions that:
- Make city services and infrastructures agile, and better able to adapt to sudden and progressive changes, be maintainable and perform optimally.
- Build distributed, self-adaptive, self-organising computer systems that solve city sustainability problems and which can scale to city sizes.
- Understand and reason about the application of cyber-physical systems in the real-world and better understand their behaviours.
- Identify notions of trustworthiness, error/failure identification, data provenance, and security for CPS.
Applicants will be responsible for collaboratively developing the research programme, analysing and evaluating new algorithms/protocols, demonstrating the practical outcomes of the work, publishing in top tier conferences and journals, and contributing to the supervision of PhD students.
