&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simula: solving problems, making a difference. &lt;/strong&gt;Simula’s mission is to solve important and fundamental problems of science and engineering, with the main goal of improving society. We do this by concentrating on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.simula.no/research&quot;&gt;five select research areas&lt;/a&gt; in ICT and performing excellent research, by developing our people, and by spinning out applicable results into profitable startups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project and Job description&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are looking for a Postdoctoral researcher to work on data-driven optimization of ship fuel consumption and voyage planning. The position will last for 2 years. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to green shipping and the reduction of greenhouse gass emissions in the world, as well as improving the safety and efficiency of the maritime sector.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The position is funded by the project that is developing a machine-learning-based solution for optimizing the efficiency of vessel operations (fuel consumption, voyage planning). To this end, the Postdoctoral researcher will work on developing machine learning and digital twin modules of the solution for optimizing the energy usage of vessels. This will include preprocessing large amounts of data (sensor readings, noon reports, weather data), correlating multidimensional ship data and developing high-quality code. Hands-on experience with ML frameworks is therefore needed. A particular focus will be on the digital twin implementation for selected vessel modules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project offers a great opportunity for the postdoctoral fellow to work with top companies in the maritime industry, and to demonstrate both individual and teamwork skills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Machine learning (ML), deep learning, digital twin, Simula&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Candidate Profile&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are looking for interested candidates who have:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Completed (before the position starts) PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence, or Software Engineering, or Computer Science with excellent grades.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks, such as PyTorch, Keras, or TensorFlow or others.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with Digital Twins.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with ship-related data (noon reports, onboard sensor readings) is a bonus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ability to work independently but also as part of a team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Excellent level of spoken and written English, good interpersonal and communication skills, curiosity and creativity, and willingness to learn and work as part of an international team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Simula is an equal opportunity employer and women are particularly encouraged to apply.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Generous support for travel and opportunities to build international networks, through established collaboration with industry, exchange programs and research visits with other universities, and funding to attend conferences.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Modern office facilities located in downtown Oslo.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A competitive salary (starting salary from NOK 575 400 to NOK 657 300).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Numerous benefits: access to company cabin, sponsored social events, generous equipment budgets (e.g., computer, phone and subscription), subsidized canteen meals, comprehensive travel/health insurance policy, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Relocation assistance: accommodation, visas, complimentary Norwegian language courses, etc.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Har du lyst til å ta en doktorgrad i et fremragende forskningsmiljø med spennende problemstillinger innenfor organisering, ledelse og gjennomføring av IT-utvikling? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Vi søker en PhD-student til vårt forskningssenter Senter for Effektiv Digitalisering av Offentlig Sektor (EDOS) ved SimulaMet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Om EDOS&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SimulaMets forskningssenter EDOS er opprettet med midler fra Digitaliserings- og Forvaltningsdepartementet (DFD). Det overordnede formålet er å bidra med forskning som kan føre til effektiv digitalisering av offentlig sektor. Forskningen er tverrfaglig og i stor grad basert på empiriske undersøkelser som datainnhenting fra digitaliseringsarbeid, eksperimenter og spørreundersøkelser. Sentrale forskningstema i senteret omfatter blant annet:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gevinstrealisering og nyttestyring i utvikling av IT-systemer og digitale transformasjoner&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Smidige arbeidsprosesser og smidig organisering av programvareutvikling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Styring og ledelse av prosjekter og produktutvikling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Evaluering og forbedring av produktivitet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kompetanseevaluering og ressursstyring&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Samarbeids- og avtaleformer&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Digitale økosystemer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Programvarearkitektur, “teknisk gjeld” og programvarekvalitet&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Du vil få friheten til å ha et forskningsfokus på ett eller flere av disse temaene, eller andre tema relatert til organisering, styring og evalueringer av IT-utvikling. Det forutsettes at du bidrar i senterets empiriske undersøkelser. Formidling og kompetanseoverføring av resultater til offentlig sektor og andre aktører er en viktig del av senterets oppgaver.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I EDOS er det stor takhøyde, og du vil befinne deg i et miljø med engasjerte og dyktige kolleger. Senteret er ledet av professor Magne Jørgensen, og består av seniorforskere, postdoktorer og PhD-studenter. I tillegg er forskergruppen IT Management, også ved SimulaMet, tilknyttet senteret.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nøkkelord&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vurderingsgrunnlag:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Det er en fordel med praksis fra ledelse og/eller gjennomføring av digitalisering i offentlig eller privat sektor&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Relevant faglig bakgrunn omfatter, men er ikke begrenset til, informatikk, programvareutvikling, prosjektledelse, økonomi eller organisasjonsledelse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mastergrad med gjennomsnittskarakter på minst B er et krav&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Norskkunnskaper (eventuelt svensk eller dansk) er en forutsetning for data/kunnskapsinnhenting og spredning, mens engelsk vil være publiseringsspråket for forskningsartikler.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vi tilbyr&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
