Machine learning for automatic disaggregation of smart meter data
Project description
PostDoc Position (m/f/d) (fixed term contract for 1.5 Years) on „Machine learning for automatic disaggregation of smart meter data“ The position is part of a collaborative research project together with the Austrian Start-up company Solgenium (www.solgenium.com). The project goal is to develop and realize novel AI-based techniques for an automatic recognition of healthcare indicators from smart meter data. To achieve this, the project brings together a large group of experts from different fields, such as data scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, healthcare professionals and business experts. The announced position will be embedded in the mathematics research group located the Institute of Mathematics and Scientific Computing at the University of Graz, Austria. The project-goal of this group is to develop and analyze unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning techniques based on convolutional sparse coding and variational autoencoders for an automatic disaggregation of smart meter data. Your duties: - Research in applied mathematic and computer science, with a focus on machine learning techniques such as variational autoencoders and convolutional sparse coding - Analysis and application of such techniques in view of deriving health-care indicators from smart meter data - Collaboration with data scientists and health-care experts from Solgenium. Your profile: - PhD in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field - Solid knowledge in applied mathematics - Good programming knowledge, ideally in Python - Experience with one or more of the following topics (desired): Mathematical Signal- or Image Processing, Convolutional Sparse Coding, Convolutional Neural Networks, Variational Autoencoders - Ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment - Capacity for teamwork, organizational talent and ability to communicate - Strong motivation to carry out cutting-edge research at the interface of applied mathematics and data science Your benefits: - Involvement in an exciting, interdisciplinary research project - Direct collaboration with a rising, Austrian start-up company with office locations in Graz, Vienna and Linz - Qualification as researcher in mathematics and computer science, with focus on machine learning techniques The minimum salary for this position acording to the Austrian collective agreement is €54453 per Year.
