    Roles & Responsibilities

    Project Overview

    We are seeking at least one Postdoctoral Associate to join the "Mens, Manus and Machina—How AI Empowers People, Institutions and Cities in Singapore (M3S)" interdisciplinary group.

    The M3S project is driven by the goal of investigating the nature of work, redefining our relationship with technology, and exploring how institutions can adapt to foster livability, sustainability, innovation, and social welfare.

    Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that aim to develop state-of-the-art AI to create future smart cities. The Postdoctoral Associate is in the T5 project for the five-year M3S program in SMART. The SMART team seeks to advance the frontier of AI research, apply it to society and cities, and demonstrate the concrete social impacts of the AI algorithms with broad public acceptance in Singapore.

    Specifically, the SMART-T5 project seeks to develop innovative machine learning algorithms that nudge human activities to maximize the growth of social capital and economy. The project makes intellectual contributions by synergizing classical network theory and deep learning, with applications to urban mobility networks in cities. This synergy leverages the integrated data sets of micro human mobility (e.g. phone trajectory), social network (e.g. Twitter), transportation infrastructure, and macro socioeconomics, thus connecting the micro-behavioral mechanism to macro-economic development.

    The SMART-T5 team is led by distinguished scholars, i.e., Professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland, Professor Jinhua Zhao, and Professor Siqi Zheng from MIT, and Professor Simon Chesterman from National University of Singapore.

    Job Description

    • Collaborate with the project team and other researchers to design, implement, and evaluate research projects.

    • Assist in grant writing, project management, and other administrative duties related to research activities.
    • Perform other duties as needed.

    Job Requirements

    • Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Transportation Engineering, Operation Research, Computational Social Science, Network Science, Civil Engineering, Economics, Statistics, Urban Planning, Industrial Engineering, or a related field by the start of the appointment.
    • Experience in deep learning, reinforcement learning, statistical modeling, network analysis, and/or optimization.
    • Experience in behavioral/economic models, urban mobility, and their integration with AI.
    • Strong publication record in top-tier conferences and journals.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

    This role is primarily based in Singapore and appointment is on a two-year contract, with the possibility of extension.
