Postdoctoral Researcher in Deep Learning for Time Series

The Chair of Intelligent Maintenance Systems focuses on developing intelligent algorithms to improve performance, reliability and availability of complex industrial assets and making the maintenance more cost efficient. Our research focuses on deep learning, domain adaptation, hybrid approaches (combing physical performance models and deep learning algorithms), and deep reinforcement learning. The data we are typically dealing with comprises heterogeneous multivariate time series data of different types, with different sampling rates and different degrees of uncertainties.

Job description

The successful applicant will drive the research in the field of deep learning applied to time series data of complex industrial systems. The position includes independent supervision of master students and involvement in the supervision of PhD students. Limited teaching responsibilities are also included in this position. We expect the candidate to be self-driven with strong problem solving abilities and out-of-the-box thinking. The duration of the post-doctoral appointment is foreseen for a minimum of one year.

Your profile

We are looking for a researcher with a strong analytical background, and an outstanding doctoral degree in Engineering, Control, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field. A candidate should be proficient in machine learning, deep learning, signal processing, statistics and learning theory.
