Postdoc IBM Research - Singapore
May, 2014.
IBM Research Collaboratory in Singapore welcomes qualified post-doctoral candidates to apply for a fellowship starting in mid 2014.
The successful candidate will be working on the 'next generation' of real-time analytics leveraging massive structured and unstructured datasets.
We welcome applications from candidates with background experience in optimization, optimal control, inverse problems, data assimilation, or machine learning, who feel that their experience will assist in the development of online operational analytics across multiple application areas from transportation to environmental sensing.
The position involves working with an international research team developing models and algorithms for real-time analytics. The position involves both innovative research and writing articles as well as significantly contributing to real-world client projects. There is a component of the position that involves programming and experience in java, C++/C# or python is preferred. However, the position is not primarily a programming position.
Salary and benefits are very competitive. The actual salary is determined by the IBM Research Human Resources department and cannot be provided ahead of an offer being made to the candidate. But, it can be expected that the salary and benefits will be very attractive, as compared to academic positions and to other positions in industry.
The position is for one year and can be renewed up to two more years based on mutual agreement. As such, this is a duration-limited position. Of the postdoctoral researchers at IBM Research, some are converted to permanent, non-duration-limited, positions during the course of their postdoctoral fellowship. However, no guarantee of such conversion can be made ahead of time.
We are actively recruiting for this position now and wish to fill at least one position soon, but regardless of your availability date, we encourage you to apply to the position, as it is possible for multiple positions to become available. Therefore, while there is a preference given to candidates who are available to start soon, all qualified and interested candidates should apply.
Real-time analytics is an exciting area of research within IBM and if this position appeals to you, please send a recent CV and please have 1 or 2 recommendation letters emailed directly to Dr. Sebastien Blandin, at sblandin[AT]sg.ibm.com.

Masters in Networking, Sunway-Lancaster
Sunway University invites applications for two (2) highly motivated full-time students to pursue a MSc in Computer Science (by Research), which is offered by Sunway University (Malaysia) and Lancaster University (UK), at Sunway University. The MSc in Computer Science (by Research) developed and conducted at Sunway University is validated by Lancaster University, which is ranked top ten in UK. Our students who successfully complete these programmes will be awarded two certificates, making them graduates of both Sunway University and Lancaster University.
The students will have an important overall role within the project and conduct cutting-edge research in the area of networking, specifically routing for the next-generation wireless networks, namely cognitive radio networks. The research area covers:
- Cluster-based routing
- Cognitive radio networks
The two opening positions investigate two different areas:
- Opening position (A): An implementation study of routing scheme(s) in cognitive radio platform
- Opening position (B): A simulation study of routing scheme(s) in cognitive radio networks
What are your roles?
- Research and design a routing scheme for cognitive radio networks
- Publish findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals and conference proceedings
- Prepare a Master’s thesis on routing in cognitive radio networks
- Cooperate with graduate students and industry partners
What are the requirements and desirable skills?
- At least a second upper class degree or equivalent from a good university in networking, telecommunications, computer science, computer engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, or any other relevant fields
- Good programming skills (C/C++)
- For position (A), experience with Qualnet or other network simulators is essential; while for position (B), experience with USRP or other wireless platform is necessary.
- Good understanding of Linux based operating system
- Good written and verbal communication in English
What we offer?
We offer a fixed monthly allowance of MYR$2,000 for a successful candidate for up to 12 months. Note that, the Master’s degree is expected to be completed within 12 months. Scholarship prize paid as tuition fees rebate directly onto programme fees exists. Some of our Malaysian students are sponsored by MyMaster scholarships.
