Responsibilities/Job Description

One position is linked to the project SIGNIFY and one position is linked to the project DARIO. Both projects deal with methodologies related to Big data, Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence as key enablers of the digital transformation. The main objectives of the projects include the development and the integration of signal processing and machine learning methodologies for anomaly detection.

The project SIGNIFY is funded by the Research Council of Norway and is in collaboration with SINTEF Energy. The project DARIO is funded by the European Space Agency and is in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Norway. Use cases for the project SIGNIFY are related to Carbon Capture and Storage, while use cases for the project DARIO are related to Ground Motion Monitoring via satellite data. The postdoctoral research fellows will have the opportunity to be affiliated with the IoT@NTNU and with the Norwegian Open AI lab, and to collaborate with research scientists from international partner institutions.

Postdoc Position N.1 – Hybrid Analytics for Sensor Validation The activities related to this position include exploring and defining advanced solutions by integrating model-based and data-driven approaches to sensor validation within a Bayesian framework. Graph signal processing and transfer learning methodologies are likely to be considered in the research.

Postdoc Position N.2 – Machine Learning for Ground Motion Monitoring The activities related to this position include dataset preparation from satellite data and development of anomaly detection tools for multivariate time-series which can handle effectively both spatial and temporal aspects. Compressed sensing, data fusion and deep learning are likely to be considered in the research.
