<p>Applications are invited for a <strong>temporary post of a Post-Doctoral Researcher within UCD School of Computer Science.</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>
</p><p>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.</p><p>
</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>In addition to the Principal Duties and Responsibilities listed
below, the successful candidate will also carry out the following duties
specific to this project:</p><p>* Liaising with stakeholders to define
suitable use case demonstrators of EO data and the identification of
suite of microservices required to support them.</p><p>* Researching potential approaches to orchestration / data processing pipelines.</p><p>* Exploration of how multi-agent systems technologies can be seamlessly
integrated into the orchestration framework / data processing pipelines.</p><p>* Implementing data processing algorithms / techniques as microservices.</p><p>* Supporting the development of various demonstrator applications.</p><p>
</p><p><strong>Salary: €39,522, </strong>per annum</p><p>
</p><p><strong>Post Duration: 30 months.</strong></p><p>
</p><p><strong>Closing date:</strong> 17:00hrs (local Irish time) on <strong>the 16th of March 2022.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Applications
