新加坡科技中心和麻省理工联合招聘交通仿真博士后

Project Overview:
For the two projects in the FM IRG, SimMobility and DynaMIT2.0, an important new component: a mesoscopic traffic simulator, needs to be designed and implemented. Besides the common features, other features that are rare or absent in the current state-of-the-art, namely pedestrians, public transit, freight traffic or vehicle-to-vehicle communication, will be considered in the simulation. In addition, aspects such as incident modeling will be investigated for the simulator.

Job description:
The FM IRG is currently seeking to employ a postdoctoral associate, based at the SMART Centre in Singapore, to work on this component of the project. The job scope is as follow:

- Lead the design of the network representation;
- Lead the design of the simulation algorithm, both for real-time system (DynaMIT2.0) and the planning system (SimMobility);
- Actively contribute to the architectural design of the system, namely its parallelization and distribution;
- Advance research in any of these areas or related, namely in (mesoscopic) transport simulation, real-time traffic prediction and transport modeling.

Requirements:
The ideal person will have excellent skills in programming and computer engineering and experience in transportation engineering or simulation. S/he will necessarily have to face simulation and mathematical challenges that are hard and somewhat rare in computing courses, so a good record in subjects such as simulation, statistics and mathematics is sought.

This job is eminently about research together with a software development team, but it can accommodate a strong development component (e.g. programming), if the applicant is interested.

The candidate should have the following:
-Advanced degree in Computer Science and strong background in Transport Engineering/Simulation or related;
-Experience with simulation, transport modeling and network representation;
-Experience with working with real-time systems;
-Good communication skills

Candidate with an experience in any of the following will have an advantage:
- Large scale (e.g. entire city) transport modeling
- Optimization for real-time systems
- Parallel and distributed computing development
