Prof. Xuerui Mao’s research group at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in data mining from satellite images, physical measurements and numerical simulations of complex dynamic systems, e.g. turbulence, hurricane.
The duty of the role is within the range of: 1) developing novel algorithms on data analyses and data mining, e.g. Large Models, mode decompositions, reduced order modelling techniques, 2) co-supervising postgraduate students, 3) co-writing reports and papers.
The annual salary is from 250K to 375K RMB depending on the experience and track record in the Beijing campus, with an extra 100K RMB in the Zhuhai (south China) campus. In the past year, 2 postdoc researchers in the group were granted national fellowship associated with an extra 900K RMB salary for three years. The University offers one-bedroom accommodation within the campus costing 1200 RMB per month. The position normally lasts for two years and towards the end, outstanding candidates will be considered for faculty positions.
Introduction to the research group
The research group maintains extensive collaborations with overseas universities, e.g. Imperial College London, Oxford University, KTH, Johns Hopkins University and there are regular mutual exchanges of researchers for each of the topic above. The group has been funded by research councils and major industries in aerospace engineering and energy in the UK, EU and China. More information of the group can be found here.
BIT is located in the centre of Beijing, and despite its small size, it is in the first groups of national higher education projects “211” and “985”, among a few other giant universities. For international candidates, the university and the group will offer assistance in accommodation and settle down, and it is totally comfortable to speak English in the campus.
Requirements:
- PhD in math, computer science, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or equivalent.
- Publication record in top journals.
- Capacity to communicate fluently in English.
- Experiences on programming, analytical modelling and high-performance-computing will be appreciated.
