Research Position Openings at Nanyang Technological University
The Complexity Institute at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, has openings for several research positions for up to a 2-year term (with a possibility of extension). An attractive remuneration based on the experiences and qualifications and a standard benefit package competitive with the industry will be provided for the successful applicant. The successful candidates will be part of a research team working on an exciting multidisciplinary project, in collaboration with Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), funded by National Research Foundation (NRF) under the Virtual Singapore (VS) program. The project is focused on using agent-based modelling and simulation technologies to optimize the preparation and operation of emergency medical services (EMS). The following three specific problems will be addressed in the project: i) EMS provision for incidences at crowded places; ii) evacuation of Emergency Department (ED); and ii) placement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in housing estates.
Available Positions:
1) Research Fellow
? Ph.D. in Computer Science / Computational Science or related discipline from reputable universities
? Strong research experience in modelling and simulation, optimization, or data analytics
? Excellent publication track record in one of the above mentioned areas
? Strong project management experience with excellent planning skills
2) Research Associate
? At least Master’s Degree in Computer Science / Computational Science or related discipline from
reputable universities
? Experience in modelling and simulation, optimization, or data analytics
? Strong research skills
3) Project Officer / Software Engineer
? At least Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science / Computer Engineering or related discipline from
reputable universities
? Demonstrated knowledge in 3D modelling and visualization, or data analytics
? Experience with large-scale software development and integration
Potential candidates are required to have:

About Modelling and Simulation Group at NTU
The Modelling and Simulation (M&S) group led by Prof Wentong Cai has been conducting impactful research in M&S over two decades. The group has published extensively in top venues in the area such as ACM TOMACS, SMPT (Elsevier), IEEE TPDS, FGCS (Elsevier), JPDC (Elsevier), and ACM SIGSIM PADS and has won 12 Best Paper Awards in international conferences. Recent ones include SIGSIM IEEE/ACM DSRT’18, ACM PADS’18, and ACM SIGSIM PADS’17. Many alumni of the group now work as Professors in leading universities in Europe and China or Research Engineers in leading IT companies world-wide such as Microsoft, Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei. The research of the group mainly focuses on the intersection between Computer Science and M&S. The current research interests include: performance and scalability of discrete event simulation, large-scale distributed virtual environment and cloud gaming, dynamic data-driven agent-based modelling and simulation, and agent-based simulation applications (e.g., crowd and traffic simulation).
