Stillingsbeskrivelse:

Jobbnorge ID: 167700

Job abstractJV_description

Two permanent positions as Researcher, funded by SIRIUS, are available at the Department of Informatics.

SIRIUS (Centre for Scalable Data Access in the Oil and Gas Domain), is a Centre for Research-Driven Innovation (SFI) at the University of Oslo. It constitutes a long-term interdisciplinary research initiative, funded by the Norwegian Research Council, involving both academic research teams (UiO, NTNU and Oxford University) as well as industrial partners including operators (Equinor), service companies (Schlumberger, TechnipFMC and DNV GL) and IT companies (e.g., Computas, Evry, IBM and SAP).

This assignment is externally funded.

More about the position

About the positions

The research work for the positions will be conducted within the SIRIUS research programs Analysis of Complex Systems and Ontology engineering. The aim of the positions is to build knowledge and competencies in digitalization of O&G industrial processes, operations, and services.

Position in the Analysis of Complex system program:

This position will develop and apply state-of-the-art formal modelling and analysis techniques in the oil & gas domain. More specifically, the successful applicant will contribute to the two ongoing research activities in the program:

1. Rewrite-based models and analysis of geological evolution and processes. The candidate will conduct research within the GeoAssistant project at SIRIUS. The project aims to device a reasoning framework to support the geologists with multi-scenario reasoning.

2. New techniques for actor-based modelling and analysis of distributed systems e.g., resource restricted systems. The candidate will contribute to the ongoing research on the Abstract Specification Language (ABS) developed in the research program.

Position in the Ontology Engineering research program:

This position will develop and apply state-of-the-art techniques for development and maintenance of ontologies for industrial use in the oil & gas domain. More specifically, the successful applicant will contribute to the two ongoing research and innovation activities in the program:

1. Tool supported method for templates based ontology engineering. The candidate will conduct research within the Reasonable Ontology Templates (OTTR) project at SIRIUS. The project aims to device a tool supported framework to support ontology experts and domain experts with more efficient tools for development of sustainable ontologies.

2. Digital field development. for data integration and knowledge management. The candidate will contribute to SIRIUS activities aimed at digitalizing information and requirements flow in field development projects.

Research activities in SIRIUS are driven by industrial problems. The successful applicant should have an interest in working on real industrial problems in collaboration with industrial partners. The successful applicant will take a senior role in the research group and contribute to identifying future research opportunities for the group. Activities he or she will be expected to take on include but are not limited to:

• Participate and contribute to our industry research projects, further advance the research group's expertise, initiate research activities, development of new methods and application to new domains, supervise students and undertake administrative duties, participate in writing research grants for various national and European funding agencies.

Qualification requirements

• For both positions the applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in a topic related to the field of the position, and must have at least 2 years postdoc experience and experience with interdisciplinary collaboration.
• In addition, applicant should have a strong publication record and experience with European level research projects.
• Experience in research collaboration with the oil & gas industries, international mobility, and international collaborations will be given additional weight.
• Fluent oral and written communication skills in English.

Candidates applying to Analysis of Complex system must be able to demonstrate knowledge in formal methods with expertise in one or more of the following areas:

(i) Symbolic analysis methods: rule-based systems, rewriting systems, symbolic execution, etc.

(ii) Verification of distributed systems: behavioral types, deductive verification, etc.

The candidates should have implementation experience and programming skills in these fields. Experience with industrial size application of these techniques as well as the ABS language is considered an advantage.

The GeoAssistant project requires the candidate to have basic petroleum/geological knowledge, as a major part of the research work will be done in collaboration with the Geo Science team in SIRIUS on formalizing geological processes.

Candidates applying to Ontology Engineering must be able to demonstrate knowledge in development of tool supported methods for ontology development and experience in deployment of such methods in projects with industrial stakeholders.
