CSIRO Employment: Post Doctoral Fellow - Sensor Informatics

CSIRO's Post-Doctoral Fellowship represents an opportunity to play a leading role in Information and Communication Technology research.

CSIRO is recruiting for a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Sensor Informatics within Tasmanian ICT Centre:

From the Position Recruitment

The CSIRO ICT Centre is building a role for Australia as a global ICT innovator by delivering leading-edge Information and Communication Technology solutions for industry and society. The Centre has over 250 researchers across Australia working on a wide range of ICT technologies and application areas.

The CSIRO ICT Centre is expanding into Tasmania, and has established a major research facility that will work closely with Tasmanian industry, universities and the community to deliver technological solutions that further Tasmania’s economic, environmental and social goals. The Centre has a key role in supporting the National Research Flagship Program, and actively collaborates with external partners and other CSIRO divisions.

The Tasmanian ICT Centre is jointly funded by the Australian Government through the Intelligent Island Program and CSIRO. The Program is administered by the Tasmanian Department of Economic Development and Tourism.

We seek highly motivated and enthusiastic researchers to join this team and to pursue scientific excellence and deliver impact from the outcomes of our research.

We are seeking an early career computer scientist researcher to join our Water Resource Observation Network (WRON) project team as a post-doctoral fellow. The WRON will provide a state-of-the-art technology platform for integrated water resource management on a national scale. Our project team is focused on sensor web enablement - we are especially interested in integrating information acquired by several different sensor platforms (mobile, in-situ, space-based) for near real-time situational awareness. This includes research and development of techniques for fusing sensor observations acquired at different spatial and temporal scales, building a robust framework for near real-time, data-driven modelling of the environment, application of autonomous agent technology. This is cutting-edge science at its best with significant opportunities for local and international networking.

We expect that the successful candidate will have a PhD and be results-driven, multi-faceted and able to conduct innovative research in real-world problems. All researchers are expected to communicate the outcomes of their research to the wider scientific community.
