The chair for Data Science in Earth Observation at TUM is looking for a PhD (m/w/d) (TV-L E13 75%) starting on 1. January 2025. The position is limited to 3 years initially.

The Chair of Data Science in Earth Observation develops innovative signal processing and machine learning methods, and big data analytics solutions to extract highly accurate large-scale geo-information from big Earth observation data. Our team aims at tackling societal grand challenges, e.g. Global Urbanization, UN's SDGs and Climate Change, thus, works on solutions that can scale up for global applications.

We are involved in a large number of third-party projects and a large international network.

The expected tasks of this position will consist of scientific research on the topic of artificial intelligence for Earth observation as well as teaching and project tasks. The main research goal is to develop innovative self-supervised learning methods for time series multi-modality Earth observation data, taken into account the different spatial temporal scale of the Earth observation data.

The capability of the model shall also be demonstrated in various downstream tasks.

Your tasks will include:

Preparation large EO datasets for the training of machine learning model

Development of innovative self-supervised learning methods for time series EO data

Evaluate the machine learning model on downstream tasks

Literature research

Project reporting

Teaching

Your qualifications:

Completed academic university degree (university diploma / M.Sc.) in Computer Science, Geo-Informatics, Data Science, or comparable subjects

Experience in machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) or related fields

Software skills in ML languages such as Python

Ability and enthusiasm to learn new technologies quickly

Ability to work highly motivated both independently and in a team

Very good written and spoken English skills

Good written and spoken English is an advantage

Knowledge of signal processing algorithms for time series data such as videos is an advantage

We offer:

An interesting and challenging job at university ranked among the best worldwide

Compatibility of job and family

Posibility of remote work (home office)

A friendly and cooperative environment

A PhD position remunerated according to TV-L E 13 75% (Tarifvertrag für den Öffentlichen Dienst der Länder). The successful applicant will initially have a 3-year contract. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, TUM explicitly encourages applications from women as well as from all others who would bring additional diversity dimensions to the university's research and teaching strategies.

Preference will be given to disabled candidates with essentially the same qualifications.

Did we catch your interestl We are looking forward to receiving your comprehensive application, including your letter of motivation, CV, and academic transcripts of records, preferably in English via an email to ai4eo [at] tum.de until 15. December 2024 at the latest. Please indicate "PhD/PostDoc application (f/m/d) with TBD" in the subject line.
