  • Knowledge in one of the AI programming frameworks, e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX;
  • Strong problem solving and analytical skills
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Best paper or equivalent awards in the top conferences or Winner of international

We seek an exceptional Computer Vision/Machine Learning Scientist to expand our dynamic and multi-disciplinary AI team.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Background in Computer Vision and Machine learning to work on human action understanding using neurosymbolic AI approaches

Requirements:

  • PhD degree in Computer Vision or Machine Learning (or related discipline) with a strong record of accomplishment in CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, IJCAI or journal papers in IEEE TPAMI, IJCV, JMLR, Pattern Recognition, IEEE TIP and related. PhDs with a record of accomplishment of the above-mentioned are encouraged to apply
  • Background in scene graph generation, action recognition, relational learning, inductive logic programming, causal learning, and neural symbolic integration is highly advantageous
  • Strong programming skills in python (Pytorch, Tensorflow)
  • Excellent computer vision and machine learning skills are required
  • Excellent problem solving skills

We seek candidate to drive the development of AI models in the context of Scientific Machine Learning. The focus is on innovating ways to bring physics-based knowledge into the improvement and understanding of statistical learning for real-world problems.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Development of AI/ML models for the modelling of multi-scale, multi-physics problems for purposes such as design and scientific discovery
  • Development of foundational methodologies for incorporating knowledge such as fundamental laws of physics into AI/ML models. This can be incorporated in different ways, including for uncertainty quantification, enabling effective learning with less data and meta-modelling
  • Working with domain experts (e.g. in fluid dynamics) to better understand problems and acquire context for the advancement of physics-informed learning
  • Collaboration with other partners such as other research institutes, academic partners and other relevant stakeholders

Requirements:

  • PhD in Computer Science, Engineering or other relevant disciplines
  • Having some background in engineering (i.e., fluid dynamics), numerical methods (e.g. finite volume or finite element methods) and/or statistical learning (i.e., deep learning)
  • Strong skills in multi-language programming (i.e., Python) and can work independently in modeling, algorithm design and coding implementation
  • Experience in customizing open-source programs
  • Good interpersonal and communications skills
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a small, agile team, resourceful and self-driven
  • Good command of written and spoken communication skill

The successful candidate will be expected to carry out the duties of this position with a dynamic and creative approach, in particular to:

Job Responsibilities:

  • Publish impact scientific results of his or her research in top tier AI and machine learning domain, such as AAAI, IJCAI, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, KDD, CVPR, ACL etc. 
  • Secure research grants to develop cutting-edge AI technologies and to train highly qualified personnel through research work
  • Supervise undergraduate and graduate students
  • Carry out innovative research projects
  • Collaborate with other research teams within A*STAR and other universities
  • Participate in professional, academic and societal service functions; and
  • Contribute to the influence of A*STAR in Singapore and internationally

Requirements:

  • Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, and Data Science fields
  • Hold a solid record of research accomplishment showing their potential to develop and lead an independent research program, allowing them to obtain research financing in order to support graduate students
  • Contribute positively to the A*STAR’s research atmosphere and to adhere to its values of excellence, creativity, integrity, collaboration, respect and openness
