Project Overview

The "Mens, Manus and Machina—How AI Empowers People, Institutions and Cities in Singapore (M3S)" project is driven by the goal of investigating the nature of work, redefining our relationship with technology, and exploring how institutions can adapt to foster livability, sustainability, innovation, and social welfare.

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that aim to develop and apply state-of-the-art AI to create future smart cities. The Postdoctoral Associate is in the T4 project for the five-year M3S program in SMART. The SMART team seeks to advance the frontier of AI research, apply it to society and cities, and demonstrate the concrete social impacts of the AI algorithms with broad public acceptance in Singapore.

Specifically, this project aims to integrate cutting-edge AI with classical dynamic behavioral models to optimize human capital development. Successful candidates will collaborate with Singaporean educational institutions like SMU Academy and Mendaki to empower local communities through education and professional advancement. The project's objective is to develop AI-assisted career and education recommendation systems for specific student groups, enabling informed decisions on education and skill development to foster lifelong learning among Singaporeans. It also helps employers design remote work policies to promote work engagement, and guides government agencies to support workers through workforce training.

The SMART-T4 team is led by distinguished scholars, i.e., Professor Jinhua Zhao and Professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland from MIT, Professor Archan Misra from Singapore Management University, and Professor Shenhao Wang from University of Florida. You can contact Dr. Yunhan Zheng (yunhan.zheng@smart.mit.edu) and Professor Shenhao Wang (shenhaowang@ufl.edu) for further information.
