Our research is recognised internationally and nationally to be at the highest level of excellence according to community standards, prioritizing quality over quantity. We balance applications and theory, and societal and scientific impact, applying research to solve real-world problems, while also conducting foundational research with potential long-term impact. As part of this, we are acknowledged and respected for close collaboration with industry and for applying research to create impact and value for society.

Our educations are problem-based and recognised for producing highly skilled graduates with very high employability, who are experienced with project work on solving real-world problems in diverse teams and able to think critically about the technologies they develop. In the workplace, we strive for diversity in nationality, culture, and gender, success as a team effort, maintaining an inspiring physical work environment, and ensuring a good work-life balance.

The position is within the context of a project making advances in utilizing very large AIS datasets to quantify marine traffic. The project is tasked with topics that include ensuring the validity of AIS data and the conversion of AIS data to trajectories for further analyses. The open position is targeted towards ensuring the validity of the AIS data at multiple level. For this task, we envision developing machine-learning techniques for use on large AIS trajectory datasets.
