- Collaborate with the growing team in Geospatial Data Science Team at the University of Glasgow and the collaborators across industry, Government, and third sector.
- Maintain and enhance your research profile and reputation and that of The University of Glasgow and research team, including contributing to publications of international quality in high profile/quality refereed journals, enhancing the research impact in terms of economic/societal benefit, and gathering indicators of esteem.
- Presentation of work at international and national conferences, at internal and external seminars, colloquia and workshops to develop and enhance our research profile.
- Supporting and contributing to FAIR principles, i.e. findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research in geospatial data science within the school and the college by, for example, making data and code repositories available and reproducible, writing blogs, drafting technical/progress reports and papers as appropriate.
- Engage in personal, professional and career development to enhance both specialist and transferable skills in accordance with desired career trajectory.
- Undertake any other duties of equivalent standing as assigned by the PI.
Knowledge/Qualifications Essential:
- An awarded PhD, Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12, or equivalent professional qualifications in relevant academic/research discipline, and experience of personal development in one of the areas of computer science or similar disciplines.
- Extensive knowledge of foundations of AI including prompt engineering, data ingest and transformation techniques, and fine-tuning models.
- Deep understanding of OpenAI's and/or similar API offerings, and how to leverage these tools for geospatial data tasks. Proficiency in using these APIs to automate data processing, generate insights, and develop AI-driven geospatial applications.
Skills Essential:
- Research creativity and cross-discipline collaborative ability as appropriate.
- Excellent communication skills (oral and written), including public presentations and ability to communicate complex data/concepts clearly and concisely.
- Excellent interpersonal skills including team working and a collegiate approach.
- Appropriate workload, time, project, budget, and people management skills.
- Self-motivation, initiative and independent thought/working.
- Problem solving skills including a flexible and pragmatic approach.
- Capability to design and implement innovative solutions to address geospatial challenges through AI and multimodal learning approaches.
Experience Essential:
- Sufficient relevant postdoctoral experience or equivalent.
- A Deep understanding of multimodal machine learning techniques, including the integration and fusion of data from various sources (e.g., images, text, sensor data).
- Experience with machine learning frameworks and libraries.
- Proven ability to deliver quality outputs in a timely and efficient manner.
- Evidence of an emerging track record of publications in a relevant field.
- Ability to conduct research and stay updated with the latest advancements in geospatial AI and multimodal learning.
Desirable:
