The College of Computing & Data Science (CCDS) invites applications for the position of Research Associate.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop agent-based models to analyse contact patterns and devise a generic interface between the agent-based models and other forms of simulation models/data for risk assessment of infectious respiratory diseases transmissions of various built environments.
- Work closely with the project team to perform research tasks related to the development of agent-based models.
- Collaborate with fellow researchers to design agent-based models and perform agent-based simulations.
- Analyze the numerical data generated by agent-based simulations and perform risk assessment of infectious respiratory diseases transmissions for various built environments.
- Participate in and contribute to pertinent meetings as well as preparing research reports and academic papers with the project team members
Job Requirements:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering or relevant discipline
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, JAVA, and C/C++
- Strongly motivated and responsible to perform research activities
