Research Fellow – Mission Decomposition & Real‑time Planning

About the role

The Centre for Advanced Robotics Technology Innovation (CARTIN) at NTU is seeking a Research Fellow to advance mission decomposition and real‑time mission planning/replanning. You will work on cutting‑edge modelling frameworks and simulation testbeds to support complex operational scenarios.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct literature research on state‑of‑the‑art mission decomposition techniques.
• Develop an efficient modelling framework that captures diverse operational requirements and uncertain environments.
• Create and validate mission analysis and decomposition methods.
• Apply the developed methods within a simulation testbed.
• Publish research findings in reputable journals and conferences, particularly ICRA.
• Assist the project PI in mentoring research students.

Required profile

• PhD in a relevant field with research focus on formal methods, modelling, or analysis of complex operations under uncertainty.
• Strong publication record in related areas.
• Knowledge of modelling, simulation, and analysis of sea operations is a plus.
• Proficiency in English for research communication.
