Company description:

The National University of Singapore is the national research university of Singapore. Founded in 1905 as the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States Government Medical School, NUS is the oldest higher education institution in Singapore.

The National University of Singapore invites applications for the position of Research Assistant / Research Engineer in the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing (SoC). SoC is strongly committed to research excellence in all its dimensions: Searching for fundamental results and insights, developing novel computational solutions to a wide range of applications, building large-scale experimental systems and improving the well-being of society. We seek to play an active role both internationally and locally in the core and emerging areas of Computer Science and Information Systems.

The Research Assistant is to investigate AI-based adaptive, robust, and explainable intrusion detection techniques. While learning an AI model, the network traffic packet or sequences may contain various types of confusing information, such as irrelevant features or a large volume of noise, which can make the model non-robust and hard to explain. The Research Assistant will propose abstraction techniques on the captured information such that the noisy and irrelevant information can be removed, and obtain abstracted sequences containing the key information that can be used to build a high-quality and efficient model.

• A Bachelor's degree with Honours in a relevant area; and
• Experience in research.
