Job Description
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore seeks to appoint an Associate Professor in Environmental Data Science to be held jointly in both the Asian School of the Environment (ASE) and the newly established College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS). We encourage applications from researchers who leverage innovative data science methodologies to address pressing environmental challenges and advance our understanding of natural systems. We are particularly keen to recruit applicants whose research includes quantitative analysis of geoscience climatologically or environmentally relevant observational data. Examples of areas of interest include but are not limited to environmental geochemistry; geophysics: natural hazards; atmosphere oceans and climate science: remote sensing; ecological modelling; environmental sustainability; and geospatial analysis. The successful candidate will be expected to build and contribute to interdisciplinary research teaching and leadership within our institutions Environmental Earth System Science and AI programmes.
The candidate is expected to lead and conduct high-impact research at the intersection of environmental and Earth system science and data science. We seek candidates who can develop and implement novel data science methodologies which might include AI and machine learning deep learning and data analytics to analyse environmental and/or Earth observational datasets model complex environmental systems and extract actionable insights.
The faculty member will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in environment and/or Earth system science data science and related disciplines incorporating innovative teaching methods and real-world applications of data science in environmental contexts and supervise graduate students and postdoctoral researchers providing mentorship and guidance in research design interpretation and professional development.
