Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC)

Description We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in database systems with a strong theoretical foundation. We are looking for a candidate excited by the challenge of rethinking data systems in the face of modern constraints such as optimization under uncertainty, constrained query evaluation, or the design of efficient, explainable, and scalable query engines. The successful applicant will help design and build novel systems and algorithms that challenge traditional assumptions in databases, guided by both real-world needs and formal foundations. They will work at the intersection of systems and algorithms, in collaboration with faculty, students, and external partners. Key Responsibilities Lead independent and collaborative research on topics in database systems, including constrained query evaluation, optimization, and reasoning under uncertainty. Design and analyze novel algorithms or theoretical models related to modern data management challenges (e.g., query feasibility, data correlations, probabilistic evaluation, scalability). Prototype and evaluate data system components or extensions to existing open-source engines. Publish in top-tier conferences (SIGMOD, VLDB, PODS, ICDE, ICDT, etc.) and participate in the wider research community. Mentor students and contribute to a vibrant research culture at NYUAD. Participate in cross-disciplinary projects at CITIES, connecting data systems to applications in urban science, planning, and decision support. Qualifications Required: PhD in Computer Science or a related field, with a focus in databases, data systems, theory, or algorithms. Strong publication record in top-tier venues. Solid background in one or more of the following: Query processing or optimization Constrained or combinatorial query evaluation Data modeling under uncertainty or imprecision Design and implementation of database or data analysis systems Excellent programming and prototyping skills. Strong analytical and communication skills; ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Desirable: Familiarity with modern in-process or embedded query engines (e.g., DuckDB, SQLite, etc.) Experience working with probabilistic databases, provenance, or uncertain data Exposure to decision-making, multi-objective optimization, or declarative problem modeling Prior involvement in open-source or reproducible systems research Interest in interdisciplinary applications of data systems (e.g., urban analytics, scientific workflows) For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, degree transcript, statement of research interests, and at least two letters of reference, all in PDF format.

QUT may meet some travel and relocation expenses involved in the interview and employment commencing process. Who are we looking for? We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Coral Reef Restoration to join School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Faculty of Science. The Postdoctoral Fellow in Coral Reef Restoration will join an international and collaborative team of scientists and coral reef restoration practitioners contributing to the Coral Research & Development Accelerator Program (CORDAP) Project on enhancing substrate availability to accelerate reef recovery using novel underwater bioadhesives. The project addresses the challenge to reef recovery which is hindered by poor substrate quality or limited substrate availability. Our novel solution to this ever-accelerating problem is Underwater Bioadhesives that can be integrated into modern reef restoration strategies. Here we will use bioadhesive materials to strengthen substrates for coral settlement, stabilize reef slopes by binding loose rubble, and attach coral fragments as an alternative to concrete and chemical glues. We’re offering this role as a hybrid position as part of QUT’s commitment to embracing the opportunities created by a more virtual and connected world. About us QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world. The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences specialises in understanding fundamental chemical and physical processes that operate across Earth’s physical spheres. As researchers and educators, it’s staff are motivated by the need to solve current global challenges such as the state of the atmosphere, greenhouse gas emissions, energy and resource sustainability, and future planetary habitability. Core research focuses on the lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. We investigate how these physical spheres have evolved over Earth’s history and observe through geospatial science in order to understand interactions between each sphere and all life. We are a diverse team of experts who deliver world-class education and achieve breakthroughs in research with particular focus on: • Earth observation • natural resources • atmospheric composition and change • air quality and pollution • natural hazards • environmental science challenges (including reef restoration and energy). • future planetary habitability What you need to succeed Completion of a doctoral qualification in marine science, marine biology, reef ecology or related fields.  Demonstrated fieldwork experience/skills on coral reefs (e.g., diving, deploying instruments, underwater data and sample/image collection; operating research vessels, data management).  Demonstrated experience in undertaking ecological assessments of coral reef benthic communities.  Demonstrated ability to use underwater imaging and image processing or experience in photogrammetry.   Demonstrated proficiency in basic analytical (e.g., Image J) and statistical software (e.g., R or Matlab) and statistical analysis.  Solution-focused, and proven ability to contribute to a high performance and collaborative culture.  Demonstrated ability to meet deadlines and publish research outcomes in a timely manner.  Desirable: Experience with laboratory aquarium systems and maintenance. Supervisory experience of postgraduate or undergraduate students and projects. Experience in applying for, and a successful track record in being awarded, grant funding.
