The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus announces one Special Scientist for Research (Post-Doctoral Researcher) position, for full-time employment. The successful candidate will conduct research under the supervision of Associate Professor Stelios Timotheou (https://www.eng.ucy.ac.cy/stimotheou/) towards the goals of the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant entitled URANUS: “Real-Time Urban Mobility Management via Intelligent UAV-based Sensing”. The required skills and expertise for the announced position include one or more of the following areas:
• Mathematical Optimization
• Systems and Control Theory
• Operations planning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• Intelligent Transportation Systems/Urban Mobility Management
Expertise in data-driven, model-free, large-scale and uncertainty-informed approaches in the above areas will be considered an advantage.

University of Cyprus
The University of Cyprus was officially founded in 1989 and started operating in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, in 1992. Within a short time, the University of Cyprus managed to achieve international recognition through an impressive course of development. Today, it is ranked in the top-100 Young Universities (under 50 years) by the Times New Higher Education Rankings.

Who we are: The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence is the largest research center at the University of Cyprus and in 2017 was upgraded to a European Research Center of Excellence through the KIOS CoE Teaming project. Currently, the Center employs more than 180 people, who are supported by externally funded research and innovation projects.

What we do: KIOS provides an inspiring environment for carrying out top-level multidisciplinary research in the area of Information and Communication Technologies, with emphasis on the Monitoring, Control, Management and Security of Critical Infrastructure Systems (CIS) including intelligent transportation networks, power and energy systems, water networks, telecommunication networks and emergency management and response. The Center instigates interdisciplinary interaction and promotes collaboration between industry, academia and research organizations in high-tech areas of global importance. Its close collaboration with operators and end-users of CIS enables the Centre to address problems of practical importance and work on high-profile projects with great impact on society and the environment.

We offer internal and external professional training, covering both technical and soft skills.

URANUS Project
URANUS is a 5-year, 2-million-euro ERC Consolidator Grant awarded to Associate Professor Stelios Timotheou that focuses on real-time, dynamic, and intelligent sensing of vehicular and pedestrian traffic via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and the use of the collected information for urban mobility management. In this context, a holistic framework for real-time urban mobility monitoring and control, as well as UAV operational planning, will be developed. URANUS is expected to transform our understanding of joint optimization of sensing, monitoring, and control, and lead to step-change improvements in urban mobility with prominent environmental and socioeconomic benefits.
