About this Opportunity
The School of Project Management at the University of Sydney is a leading hub for interdisciplinary research. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a new research stream focused on intelligent sensing and control frameworks for megaprojects.
Working under the supervision of Dr. Wanchun Liu, an Australian Research Council's Discovery Early Career Researcher Award Fellow and expert in cyber-physical systems and AI-driven sensing and control for large-scale systems, the successful candidate will contribute to the development of adaptive decision-making architectures for large-scale, complex project environments.
This project is part of an ambitious research program to integrate real-time sensing, AI-based control, and governance analytics into the future of infrastructure and technology megaprojects.
We are looking for a researcher who has:
- A PhD or near-completed PhD in one of the following fields: Project Management or Project Studies (with strong computational/AI expertise), Systems Engineering or Control Systems (with applications to large-scale projects), or Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (with interest in applications to megaprojects or governance)
The appointee will conduct original research, publish in top-tier journals, collaborate with academic and industry partners, and contribute to competitive grant applications.
The key responsibilities include:
- Conduct high-quality research in intelligent sensing and control for complex project environments
- Develop and implement AI-based algorithms (e.g., GNNs, deep reinforcement learning)
- Design and simulate dynamic models of megaproject systems
- Prepare and submit journal articles to high-impact publications
- Contribute to competitive grant proposals and research impact activities
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary researchers across engineering, management, and AI
The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity. As such, we see the importance of recruiting talent aligned to these values.
