Student Research Assistant

You like AI? CUIP is looking for you.

The Center for Urban Informatics and Progress (CUIP) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is a smart-city research center where AI meets the real world across a testbed of connected intersections—spanning multimodal sensing, trajectory prediction, V2X, and connected-vehicle safety.

We're looking for a Student Research Assistant to join us at the intersection of AI, V2X, and intelligent transportation.

You'd be a great fit if you have background in:

- AI multimodal and time-series modeling

- Computer networks and TCP/IP fundamentals

- Reading, reviewing, and synthesizing academic literature in technical fields

- Python, plus hands-on exposure to the core scientific/ML stack: PyTorch, NumPy, scikit-learn, pandas, and scapy

- DeepXDE - physics-informed AI

Knowing cybersecurity principles is a definite plus.

- Assist with multimodal/multilayer data collection, processing, and modeling for intelligent transportation research projects

- Develop, optimize, and maintain AI models for time-series prediction, classification, and anomaly detection in V2X misbehavior detection research

- Contribute to technical reports, academic publications, and project documentation

- Collaborate on interdisciplinary research initiatives within CUIP
