Job Title:

Postdoctoral Fellow, Mechanical Engineering

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our research team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Travis Wiens on a project focused on developing a Machine Learning algorithm to quantify the safety of underground mine roofs and sidewalls using audio recordings of tool impacts on the surface.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and optimize a Machine Learning algorithm to predict whether an audio recording is drummy (unsafe) or tight (safe)
  • Expand the algorithm to quantify the level of drumminess and the confidence in this prediction
  • Work independently to identify, develop, and validate new ideas
  • Communicate results via publications and conference presentations
  • Collaborate with a student who is currently taking the recordings and other students working on other projects
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in a related field within the last five years
  • Demonstrated experience in developing machine learning algorithms with small datasets of arbitrary and/or time-series data
  • Demonstrated experience with dataset feature engineering and dimensionality reduction
  • Demonstrated ability to take the lead role in successfully published paper(s) in high-quality journals or peer-reviewed conferences
Desirable Qualifications:
  • Experience with recording and processing of audio data
  • Experience with determining confidence intervals for ML classifications or regression
  • Matlab ML programming experience
  • Python ML programming experience
  • Familiarity with rock mechanics and mine operations
  • Familiarity with acoustic and vibrational wave propagation
What We Offer:

The University of Saskatchewan offers a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional development and collaboration with a talented research team.

How to Apply:

Please submit your application, including your CV, cover letter, and contact information for three professional references, to [insert contact information].
