Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the Learning of Functions From Data

Job specification

Prof. Xuerui Mao’s research group at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) is seeking postdoctoral researchers on the physics-informed learning of functions governing dynamic processes from data, such as extracting a function to identify vortices from numerical or experimental data.

The duty of the role is within the range of:

1. Developing novel algorithms on physics-informed learning of functions,
2. Performing large-scale simulations to collect data,
3. Attending academic conferences and writing reports, journal papers,
4. Co-supervising postgraduate students.

The annual salary ranges from 250K to 550K RMB depending on the experience and track record. The group will also provide research funding, additional subsidies and rewards depending on research performance. The University offers one-bedroom accommodation within the campus costing 1200 RMB per month. Candidates from top 100 universities will be eligible to compete for an extra salary of 300K RMB per annum in a national scheme. These positions last 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, University of Nottingham, 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 at https://mao-lab.com.

BIT is located in the centre of Beijing, and despite its compact size, it belongs to 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 assistances in accommodation and settle down, and it is totally comfortable to speak English in the campus.

Requirements:

• PhD in Math, Computer Science 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.
