POST CONTEXTThis is a position within the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), an organization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
CMRE is an established, world-class scientific research and experimentation facility that organizes and conducts scientific research and technology development, centred on the maritime domain, delivering innovative and field tested Science & Technology (S&T;) solutions to address defence and security needs of the Alliance.
The position is within the Research Division (RD) which is responsible for identifying, developing and delivering Science & Technology (S&T;) solutions to the needs of the Alliance in the maritime domain.
The Division leads the development of CMRE's scientific strategy and through its capability in ocean sensing, numerical modelling, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and autonomy, delivers the Centre's S&T; goals while maintaining CMRE's reputation within the scientific community.
The Research Division is comprised of the five following Branches:Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW)Autonomous Naval Mine Warfare (ANMW)Environmental Knowledge and Operational Effectiveness (EKOE)
& Climate Change (CC)Data Knowledge and Operational Effectiveness (DKOE)Maritime Unmanned Systems Enablers (MUSE)The CMRE is looking for a scientist to conduct research in the field of advanced Artificial Intelligence and Information Fusion (AI2F).
The position is within the DKOE Branch and contributes to the Seabed-to-Space Situational Awareness (S3A) project.2.
PRINCIPAL DUTIESReporting to the DKOE Branch Head, the incumbent will perform duties such as the following:Conduct research in the field of advanced Data Fusion and Tracking techniques.
Support the programme of work in the investigation and development of innovative and cutting edge scientific research in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Information Fusion (AI2F) applied to the novel concept of Seabed-to-Space Situational Awareness (S3A).
Execute CMRE's research activities in support of the DKOE Programme on Machine Learning, Optimization, Prediction and Information Fusion.
Emphasis will be given to the development of Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) and S3A methodologies, as well as to the development of prototypes focused on monitoring and protecting Critical Undersea Infrastructures (CUIs).
Publish results both internally (CMRE reports, the primary focus), and externally in peer-reviewed journals where appropriate.
Support the CMRE sea-going experiments with a focus on data collection,
tracking and fusion using real-time algorithmsSupport the organization and execution of NATO workshops and conferences; the establishmentof Multi-National Projects as relevant in the fields of Maritime Situational Awareness and CUI monitoring; the development of proposals for external funding beyond ACT, seeking and winning funding from National Naval R&D; funding agencies, or from National or NATO Multi-National projects.
