The Role
Information Sciences Division (ISD) is seeking an enthusiastic scientist and/or practitioner in Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Data Science who is passionate in developing and applying AI and ML methods toward addressing novel problems with Defence and national security impact.
As an AI & Data Scientist, you will have opportunities to engage with expert multi-functional teams in Defence and to work in close collaboration with industry and academia; contributing to developing and applying AI and Data Science techniques toward decision making in uncertain, dynamic, and adversarial contexts.
This role sits within the Adaptive Artificial Intelligence (A2I) discipline of the Artificial Intelligence and Decision Analytics (AIDA) Science and Technology Capability (STC) in the Information Analysis (IA) Major Science and Technology Capability (MSTC) of ISD.
Some of your key responsibilities include:
- Maintain currency of technical knowledge and build awareness of Defence and national security contexts
- Conduct R&D activities toward modelling events and activity patterns from large volumes of heterogeneous multimodal data, handling intrinsic noise and uncertainty.
- Contribute to the application of AI and Data Science methods toward detection, recognition, characterization and forecasting of events, activities and behaviours of Defence interest.
- Contribute to the development of proof-of-concept and prototype demonstrators.
- Communicate and report findings in the scientific community.
AIDA are also advertising for a S&T 5 ‘AI/ML Researcher for Adaptive Situational Awareness and Decision Making‘ position. Please click link for more information.
About our Team
The Artificial Intelligence for Decision Analytics (AIDA) STC undertakes advanced analytics for machine-enabled planning, situation awareness and decision-making. The STC comprises two S&T disciplines: Situation Representation and Analysis (SRA), and Adaptive Artificial Intelligence (A2I).
The A2I discipline focused on AI/ML techniques that can rapidly adapt to changing, uncertain and adversarial contexts, and be quickly adapted to tasks across domain and environments, toward enabling and enhancing adaptive situational awareness and decision making.
