Theoretical AI/ML research scientist

We are seeking a talented *Theoretical AI/ML research scientist* to join our team in the Research Department at NATO STO-CMRE - Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation.

This role requires a strong research background and expertise in statistical learning, statistical signal processing, data fusion and machine learning fields. As a scientist, you will be tasked with developing and implementing cutting-edge techniques at the boundary between machine learning and statistical modelling to solve complex problems using extensive datasets comprising time-varying and heterogeneous surveillance information.

Detailed duties:
Support the DKOE programme of work in the investigation and development of innovative and cutting edge scientific research ideas in the area of Statistical Learning, Machine Learning, Signal Processing and Information Fusion.

Develop Explainable AI for model interpretation and human-machine teaming approaches.

Develop and implement advanced and novel algorithms and models to combine, fuse, synthesize and classify heterogeneous sensor/surveillance/geospatial/contextual data.

Develop rigorous mathematical understanding/interpretation of the developed algorithms (such as machine learning /signal processing) and their performance.

Collaborate with researchers and domain experts to identify research questions and design experiments to address them.

Stay updated with the latest advancements in statistical learning and signal processing, machine learning, target tracking, data fusion and related fields, and apply relevant methodologies to research projects.

Participate in interdisciplinary research teams and contribute to research proposals and publications, both internal (CMRE reports) and external (peer-reviewed scientific publications).

Present research findings at conferences, workshops, and internal meetings.

Work closely as required with projects outside of the DKOE Programme.
Support the organization and execution of NATO workshops and conferences; the establishment of Multi-National Projects; the development of proposals for external funding beyond ACT, seeking and winning funding from National Naval R&D funding agencies, National or NATO Multi-National projects, or from European funding mechanisms.
