Big Data within Geo.X. Geo.X is a strategic partnership of university and non-university institutions in the metropolitan region of Berlin and Potsdam spanning the whole range of geoscientific disciplines, ranging from planetary science, space-borne Earth observation, through atmosphere studies, to material science, Earth surface dynamics and to the deep biosphere. Geo.X has broken new ground by interfacing geoscience data with novel technologies to manage, analyse and explore these big data resources. With this call we seek Data Scientists that can further develop these techniques together with our geoscientific expertise.
(3-year PhD or 2-year Postdoc positions)
This is a joint call with our second topic “Geo.Society”. The 16 positions will be filled with the top applicants from both fields. Affinity with Geo.Data Science as well as Geo.Society will be an asset.
