Sydney, New South Wales, Australia beBeeArtificial Full time $113,400 - $137,590
Job Description

As a key member of our research team, you will play a crucial role in developing innovative sensing and control frameworks for megaprojects. This exciting opportunity is part of an ambitious research program aimed at integrating real-time sensing, AI-based control, and governance analytics into the future of infrastructure and technology megaprojects.

About the Opportunity

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Wanchun Liu , an expert in cyber-physical systems and AI-driven sensing and control for large-scale systems. You will contribute to the development of adaptive decision-making architectures for large-scale, complex project environments. Your primary responsibilities will be to:

  • 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
  • Supervise or mentor research students, where appropriate
Required Skills and Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you will need to possess:

  • 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)
  • Demonstrated research expertise in AI/ML algorithm development, dynamic modelling and simulation of complex systems, reinforcement learning or graph neural networks
  • Proficiency in Python and related computational toolchains
  • A strong interest in interdisciplinary research bridging project governance, systems thinking, and intelligent control
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Solid experience with advanced AI algorithms
  • Prior experience in both qualitative and quantitative research methods
  • Familiarity with megaproject delivery models or complex infrastructure systems
What We Offer

We offer a stimulating research environment, opportunities for professional growth and development, and a competitive salary package. Our team values diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
