Position overview

This position is a fixed term 2-year appointment (extendible based on performance) located in the Data Science for Public Good team at RSCS to work on the Integrated Graph Analytics Collaborative Research Project. The Integrated Graph Analytics Project is a joint undertaking of ANU RSCS and CSIRO's Data61 that is developing the Stellargraph platform for graph analytics, in partnership with key public-service agencies in the security domain.

Stellargraph uses new graph machine learning techniques from the graph learning research field to make predictions on complex problems in our highly connected world. Representing data as graphs enables the context and rich, relationship-driven structure of multiple data sources to be modelled to make predictions and reveal hidden insights in big data.

Applications are invited from data or software engineers with experience in developing software solutions to large scale, real world problems using machine learning. We are especially looking for a data engineer with expertise in one or more of machine learning, graph databases and sequential decision theory.
