Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Data Mining

Job specification

Prof. Xuerui Mao’s research group at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) is seeking 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.
