Postdoctoral Fellow in Responsible AI Engineering
The Postdoctoral Fellow will help develop explainable machine learning software applications for the advanced geothermal systems developed at Eavor Technology Inc. The techniques developed could be generic enough to apply to different domains and would be field-tested and evaluated within the various use cases of geothermal software systems. This project is funded by Alberta Innovates.
Requirements:
Recent Ph.D. (within the past 3 years) in Software Engineering, Computer Science or a closely related field
Significant experience with machine learning tools, GPU acceleration, and toolkits such as AutoML
Application details:
Applications should consist of a current CV, a list of 2‐3 referees with contact information, a cover letter describing relevant past research experience and a writing sample – either a conference or journal paper.
Send complete applications to Dr. Gias Uddin (gias.uddin@ucalgary.ca) and Dr. Roman Shor (roman.shor@ucalgary.ca)
Postdoctoral Fellow in Drilling Mechanics and Non-Linear Systems Dynamics Modeling
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work on Drilling Mechanics, Bit-Rock interaction Modelling, and Non-Linear System Dynamics and Control to optimize hard rock drilling for Advanced Geothermal Systems. Eavor has developed the Eavor-Loop, a closed loop geothermal system for heat and power application. This project seeks to develop a digital twin of the drilling system to help improve drilling operations and optimize drilling rate. This project is funded in part by NSERC.
Requirements:
Recent Ph.D. (within the past 3 years) in Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
Significant experience with mathematical modeling, control system and observer design, and model validation is required
Programming experience in Matlab and Python is expected
Application details:
Applications should consist of a current CV, a list of 2‐3 referees with contact information, a cover letter describing relevant past research experience and a writing sample – either a conference or journal paper.
