Stillingstittel:
Research Engineer in Machine Learning for AI-based HR System at SimulaMet

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

We are advertising a two-year research engineer position for development of AI-based HR tools at SimulaMet, Oslo, Norway. The position is available as a part of the nationally-funded innovation project UPSKILLin collaboration with Conexus AS, OsloMet, and University of South-Eastern Norway.

Project Description

An incomplete mapping of the skills of a given individual, combined with insufficient insight into a company's actual need for competence, give rise to quite a few challenges. For instance, it may lead to hiring the wrong candidates, lack of insight into the best path for personal development and challenges when deciding relevant content for courses, learning material and for continued education.

The UPSKILL project will introduce a global platform for professional networking. The platform will connect individuals, companies and learning providers, and offer automatic methods for identification, mapping and development of skills and abilities.

The project will result in new methods for representing the skills of an individual, mapping a company's need for competence, as well as new methods for matching available skills and abilities with the actual need for competence. The methods will be self-learning, applicable for commercial use and independent of industry.

The platform will be launched in Europe and Southeast Asia after project completion.

We are looking for a talented research engineer for complementing our team of researchers and engineers. The duties of the engineer will include design of machine learning algorithms for real-time automatic emotion (face and posture) recognition, language processing and recognition, social data analysis. The tools will be fundamental for construction of the employee's competence profile and finding the best matching job offer. The algorithms are expected to be validated on real-life industrial data from DNB and others.

Candidate Profile

We consider interested candidates who have a MS degree in information technologies, computer sciences, applied mathematics, engineering, and/or related fields, with top grades.

Other required qualifications include

1. strong background in machine learning, signal and image processing,
2. fluency in Python,
3. willingness to carry out interdisciplinary research.

Desired qualifications include

1. experience inTensorflow/Keras libraries,
2. experience in large scale data analysis,
3. experience with Web programming.

The candidate will also have to demonstrate an excellent level of spoken and written English, possess good interpersonal and communication skills and show willingness to work as part of an international team. SimulaMet strives to achieve a good balance between male and female employees, and women are particularly encouraged to apply.

Research Environment

SimulaMet (Simula Metropolitan Center for Digital Engineering) is a new research institute that is jointly owned by Simula Research Laboratory and Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet). It is the home of Simula's research activities on networks and communications, machine learning and IT management, and it is OsloMet-s strategic partner in research and postgraduate education. SimulaMet is organized as a limited company and is located centrally in Oslo.

The Machine Intelligence Department has expertise in machine learning, with a particular focus on matrix and tensor factorizations, signal processing, inverse and ill-posed problems, regularization theory, and statistical learning theory. We are interested in developing and applying methods to address challenging problems in various real-life applications from biomedical signal and image analysis, systems biology to social and communication networks.

SimulaMet Offers

• A highly dynamic and motivated team of international researchers and engineers.
• A well-established collaboration with applied research teams and companies.
• Access to an internally hosted HPC infrastructure of experimental nature, specifically targeting heterogeneous architectures that are expected to be vital for future exascale computing.
• An informal and inclusive international working environment.
• Professional courses and workshops led by international experts such as Communication of Scientific Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Writing Effective Research Proposals.
• Good office facilities located in the Oslo downtown.
• A competitive salary.

The successful candidate will also enjoy an inspiring and resourceful environment, with the possibility of travelling to conferences and workshops.

Application Requirements

Candidates are requested to send a motivation letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information of two references. After initial screening, relevant candidates will be asked to provide further documentation of education and work experience. Applications can only be submitted via our online system.

The starting date: October 2019. Application deadline: July 15, 2019 . However, applications will be screened continuously and a decision will be made as soon as we find the right candidate, if so even before this deadline.
