Dear coll_eagues,_
I have an open position in my human-centered ML team to integrate
domain-knowledge constraints in I4.0 sensors with strict consumption
limitations.
_Context:_
SMARTSENS is a project funded by the Service public de wallonie Win2Wal
program that will design micro-sensors to monitor gas concentrations in
various environments, such as industrial facilities and storage
locations. The project will be conducted in partnership with the
University of Namur, the Haute Ecole Louvain en Hainaut (CeREF research
center) and the Belgian VOCSENS company. The project benefits from the
University of Namur expertise in machine learning and the CeREF
expertise in edge computing for the processing of data from the sensors.
Indeed, models will be used locally with strict consumption limitations.
_Job description:_
The goal of this postdoctoral research is to define, design and evaluate
models of sensors to predict gas concentrations in the environment. Due
to data scarcity, we will integrate domain constraints given by experts
(i.e., physical and technological constraints) to help learning
algorithms. One of the scientific challenges will therefore be to design
relevant types of constraints and to prioritise them. The candidate will
work with Prof. Benoit Frénay and collaborate with SMARTSENS partners,
including the CeREF research center for edge computing integration and
the VOCSENS company for its expertise in remote gas sensing solutions.
_Job Requirements:_
* PhD in Machine Learning;
* Autonomy and ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team;
* Excellent publication record;
* Proficiency in English (both speaking and writing) is mandatory,
knowledge of French and/or Dutch is considered as a plus.
_About the employer _
The Faculty of Computer Science provides cutting-edge teaching and
research, with a view to putting computers at the service of society, by
taking into account their impact on the environment and by respecting
the values of solidarity and sustainable development. The Faculty is a
founding member of the Namur Digital Institute (NADI) which gathers over
150 researchers in the field of digital technology. It has a
multi-disciplinary approach and addresses in particular the issues and
challenges of computer science in organisations and in society. The
Faculty of Computer Science has over 400 students, 80 members of staff
including 18 professors and around 50 researchers. Founded in 1968, the
Faculty of Computer Science has trained over 1,800 high-level computer
science graduates since then.

* Motivation letter
* Curriculum vitae, including publication list
* Copy of Diplomas (Bachelor, Master and PhD, if available)
* PhD thesis (if available)
* 2-3 recent publications
* Names and e-mail addresses of 3 reference persons to be contacted
upon request
Note: Soon to be graduating PhD students are welcome to apply provided
that they will have defended their PhD prior to the start of the position.
_Important dates_
Submission deadline: October, 31^st , 2021 (11h59 pm AoE).
Expected starting date: December 1^st or January 1st, 2022 (negotiable,
depending on COVID or candidate constraints).
