Postdoctoral Position in machine learning IoT data (DESS)

The Data Engineering, Science, and Systems (DESS) research group at Aalborg University (AAU) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to high-impact research on machine learning related to the analysis of IoT data in the form of multivariate time series.

The DESS group is part of Department of Computer Science that belongs to AAU’s Technical Faculty for IT and Design. The Department of Computer Science has 170+ scientific staff, including the two most cited Danish computer scientists, 20 administrative staff, and 1,100 students. More information is available at:  www.cs.aau.dk. The DESS group focuses on data-intensive systems, spatio-temporal data management, data analytics, and applications of machine learning. International evaluations place DESS in the global top tier. For example, csrankings.org lists DESS as no. 2 in Europe and no. 13 in the world within database systems for the period 2021-2025. More information about DESS can be found at: https://www.cs.aau.dk/research/research-groups/data-engineering-science-and-systems-dess.

The position is open for appointment starting September 1st, 2026. The position is initially for 24 months with the possibility for extension to a total of 36 months.

Your work tasks: 

The postdoctoral position relates to the project titled An Integrated Approach to IoT Data Analytics. The project aims to integrate complementary but related expertise across the Departments of Electronic Systems and Computer Science at AAU. The project includes two major use cases. Together with medical experts, the project aims to invent solutions for activity monitoring of older adults in their homes using wireless infrastructure data. For example, this may enable detection of vital signs, of adults falling, and of decline in cognitive abilities. Together with engineers from the wind turbine company Vestas, interests, the project aims to invent reliable, resilient, and performant solutions to efficiently transmit and analyze high-frequency, high-velocity multimodal data streams, thereby enabling monitoring of offshore wind turbines. Your role will be to contribute to these uses cases by developing machine-learning based methods for analyzing IoT time-series data.

Your Competencies:

We seek a highly motivated researcher with a PhD in computer science, proficiency in software development, and a strong publication record in machine learning for time series that includes publications in top methodological outlets in machine learning. Beyond technical skills, we value proactive, collaborative team players with excellent communication skills for engaging with project participants.
