[agents] JOB OFFER: Post-Doctoral Researcher (Lvl 1) @ University College Dublin (30 months)

[Rem Collier]

Applications are invited for a *temporary post of a Post-Doctoral
Researcher within UCD School of Computer Science.*

University College Dublin has secured funding under the Department of
Enterprise Trade and Employment’s (DETE) Disruptive Technology Innovation
Fund (DTIF) to establish a new Earth Observation platform designed for
non-specialist users. The CAMEO (Creating an Architecture for Manipulating
Earth Observation data) project seeks to democratise access to an
ever-increasing volume of Earth Observation data to develop a sustainable
internationally trading Earth Observation services sector in Ireland.

CAMEO will provide a new means of accessing international EO/UAV/Land-based
sensor data and mechanisms for combining this with national climate,
agriculture, and marine databases to unlock real, tangible potential for
Irish industry, the public sector, researchers. CAMEO will establish
Ireland as an international leader in using EO data for economic and
societal benefit.

The members of this project consortium, led by UCD, include Vertice
Integration Services Ltd T/A Vertice Cloud, BCC Risk Advisory Ltd T/A
Edgescan, The Icon Group Ltd, Treemetrics Ltd, TechWorks Marine Ltd and EMC
Information Systems International.

This is a research-focused role, where you will conduct a specified
programme of research supported by research training and development under
the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator. The primary
purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and
competencies, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed
academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship
of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in
research-led teaching.

This position will involve developing a suite of microservices to support
the processing of Earth Observation data and the creation of an
orchestration framework that can be used to conflate available services via
associated data processing pipelines for a myriad of rich data sources,
including, but not limited to: satellite, drone, lidar, ground segment and
citizen derived. Identification of the specific set of microservices to be
implemented will be derived through stakeholder engagement and the
development of a number of demonstrators. A multi-agent systems approach
will be used to integrate multiple agents into the orchestration/pipeline
infrastructure.

In addition to the Principal Duties and Responsibilities listed below, the
successful candidate will also carry out the following duties specific to
this project:

* Liaising with stakeholders to define suitable use case demonstrators of
EO data and the identification of suite of microservices required to
support them.

* Researching potential approaches to orchestration / data processing
pipelines.

* Exploration of how multi-agent systems technologies can be seamlessly
integrated into the orchestration framework / data processing pipelines.

* Implementing data processing algorithms / techniques as microservices.

* Supporting the development of various demonstrator applications.

*Salary: €39,522, *per annum

*Post Duration: 30 months.*

*Closing date:* 17:00hrs (local Irish time) on *the 16th of March 2022.*

Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any
applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 17:00hrs
(Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled
automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
