About ETH Zurich
ETH Zurich is one of the leading universities in the world with a strong focus on science and engineering. In 2010, it established the
Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC)
in collaboration with the
National Research Foundation (NRF)
to conduct interdisciplinary research on pressing problems.
The Singapore-ETH Centre is home to a community of doctoral, postdoctoral, and professorial researchers working in three main programmes: Future Cities Laboratory, Future Resilient Systems, and Future Health Technologies. The centre provides a multicultural and interdisciplinary environment to researchers working on diverse themes, with the shared vision of translating research into practical solutions for more sustainable and liveable cities, resilient physical and social urban systems, and patient-centric healthcare systems.
Role Overview
As a Postdoctoral Researcher – Ontology and Knowledge Graph Engineering, you will contribute to the ongoing development of a general and interoperable modular architecture to build federations of simulation models. This simulation-as-a-service middleware architecture, developed by the Digital Twin Lab, currently powers applications such as the Digital Urban Climate Twin.
Your work will involve integrating ontologies, knowledge graphs, and related semantic web technologies into this architecture, ultimately demonstrating how this integration augments the development of model federations to explore decarbonisation scenarios for Singapore.
You will work under the guidance of Dr Pieter Herthogs and Dr Heiko Aydt from the Singapore-ETH Centre.
Key Responsibilities
Developing ontologies:
This includes:
Co-developing and delivering ontologies related to the domains and models of our project and research consortium.
Ensuring interoperability with ongoing semantic web technology efforts at the Singapore-ETH Centre.
Co-developing and publishing journal articles.
Presenting your research to international audiences and visitors.
Supporting architecture design and feature development:
This includes:
Co-designing the integration of ontologies and knowledge graphs into a simulation-as-a-service middleware.
Exploring and evaluating different technological implementations of graph databases.
Co-designing and co-developing new features and interfaces for semantically coherent simulation federations.
Demonstrating innovations:
This includes:
Assembling demonstrators and proof-of-concepts showcasing new architectures and features.
Presenting research and developments internally and externally.
Supporting general research efforts:
This includes:
Participating in team meetings and contributing to collaborative efforts.
Supporting other researchers and software engineers on related projects.
Contributing to academic papers and funding acquisition actions.
Profile
Mandatory Requirements:
A PhD degree relevant to this position.
Demonstrable experience with Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL, graph data stores).
Co-authored at least 3 English-language journal articles on relevant topics, with at least 2 as first author.
Experience in software engineering and collaborative practices.
Personal Attributes:
Self-motivated and independent researcher.
Proactive and able to signal issues and set targets.
Strong communication skills to articulate ideas clearly.
Team player with a collaborative mindset.
Professional working proficiency in English.
Curious and passionate about exploring new concepts and technologies.
Beneficial Attributes:
Ability to present work engagingly.
Detail-oriented and meticulous.
Interest in developing diagrams and frameworks.
Experience with generative AI methods.
Domain experience in decarbonisation use cases.
We Offer
A diverse workplace with 32 nationalities and opportunities for mutual learning.
Positive and inclusive working environment.
25 days of annual leave for fixed-term contracts.
1 day of Birthday Leave.
Comprehensive healthcare insurance coverage.
Flexible hybrid work arrangement (up to 2 days per week from home).
The Singapore-ETH Centre is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer. All candidates will be evaluated on their merits and qualifications, without regard to gender, race, age, or religion.
